Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers Donates $1M to Children’s Hospital

Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers' “Changing Oil, Changing Lives” campaign recently surpassed $1 million in donations to Children’s of Alabama's Art and Expressive Therapy program.

According to a press release, Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers has announced that their “Changing Oil, Changing Lives” campaign to support Children’s of Alabama recently surpassed $1 million in donations.

The campaign is to support the children and families at the Children’s of Alabama hospital by raising funds for the hospital’s Art and Expressive Therapy program. Over the month of April, the company donated $1 to the program for every oil change done at one of their Alabama locations.

Emily Hornak, Children’s of Alabama’s director of cause marketing, said the company has supported art therapy programs for the past 15 years, even helping them to expand the program as their number of patients grew.

“Because our customers support this campaign, more than $1 million dollars to date have been donated to art therapy that helps pediatric patients process diagnoses and treatments that no kid should have to face,” Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers CEO Jim Durkin stated.

In honor of the milestone of $1 million in donations, a plaque on the Pillars of Community display in the hospital was created for the company, first unveiled at a ceremony this past March.
