Leading Tire and Wheel Retailer to
Donate a Record of 9,000 Backpacks across 170 Locations
TAMPA,
Fla., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RNR Tire
Express (RNR), the nation's leading franchise retailer for
tires and custom wheels, announces its 10th annual
back-to-school giveaway, set to be its most impactful initiative
yet. Hosted by 170 of its franchise locations, the company is set
to gift a record-breaking 9,000+ backpacks filled with essential
school supplies to alleviate the financial burden of the upcoming
school year for local families.
The giveaway is set to kick off on July
29 when families are encouraged to visit their local RNR for
backpack pickups, while supplies last at participating locations.
Additionally, select stores will offer various deals and promotions
to ensure families are safe on the road this back-to-school season,
including free tire safety checks (promotions vary by
location).
As one of the brand's longest-held traditions, the franchise's
10th consecutive year serves as a reminder of the
exponential growth the giveaway has seen since its inception in
2013. With over 30,000 backpacks donated, the event
continues to grow as the franchise expands its footprint across the
nation.
"Since the beginning of this giveaway initiative, our goal has
been to make an impact in the communities that we serve every day,"
said Candace Lovett, National
Marketing Director for RNR Tire Express. "Reaching our
10th year is truly special for us. We are grateful to
have supported local families for the past decade, ensuring that
students have the supplies they need for a successful school year
while helping keep families safe while on the road. We are looking
forward to the next milestone as we continue to grow this event
year after year."
Committed to continually giving back in impactful ways, RNR
lives its brand mantra 'Changed Lives, Changing Lives' throughout
the year. Annual donation efforts have resulted in over a million
dollars raised nationwide for various non-profit organizations and
annual giveaways. As active local community members, the franchise
continues to find ways to meaningfully give back and honor
deserving individuals. RNR celebrates and thanks all those who are
a part of the RNR family - from students, essential workers,
parents, cancer survivors and fighters, and more.
"Amidst the challenges facing families today, providing a free
backpack and school supplies is a small gesture that can have a big
impact," said Larry Sutton,
Founder and CEO of RNR Tire Express. "As we celebrate a decade
of giving back with our annual event, we're honored to support our
community and help alleviate some of the financial burdens families
may face."
Additionally, amid rising costs of essential classroom supplies,
RNR Tire Express aims to alleviate costs for teachers with its
3rd annual Teacher Wishlist giveaway. With 90% of
educators across the country spending their own money on essential
school supplies, the 2024 Back-to-School Teacher School Supply
Giveaway will reduce stress associated with back to school season
for nominated teachers across the nation, allowing them to focus on
the educational needs of their students. Nominations for teachers
will run from July 22 through August
10.
