Midas franchisees within as well as outside the U.S. came together to raise over $10,000 for Special Olympics, according to a press release.
Special Olympics is an international program that provides individuals with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to compete in a variety of different sports categories.
Franchisees located in California, Indiana, Virginia, and Nova Scotia all pitched in to raise money in support of the program, with their efforts culminating in a donation of over $10,000.
The fundraiser was part of a year-long campaign by Midas to celebrate its 68th anniversary. Last year, the company did something similar with its 67 Acts of Kindness initiative.
“We are honored to support the Special Olympics and the work they do year-round to help children and adults with intellectual disabilities discover new strengths, abilities, and skills through sports,” said Lenny Valentino, Jr., president and COO of Midas. “These contributions reinforce Midas’s commitment to positively impacting the local communities where we operate and fostering the development of tomorrow’s leaders by empowering them to reach their fullest potential.”
