Jiffy Lube® Teams Up with MDA for Annual MUSCLE UP!(SM) Campaign to Transform the Lives of Kids and Adults with Neuromuscular Diseases

HOUSTON, Aug. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Jiffy Lube and the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) are teaming up for the eighth annual MUSCLE UP!℠ campaign. The campaign raises funds to help send kids ages 8 to 17 living with neuromuscular diseases to MDA Summer Camp at no cost to their families and also to support family services and research.

Throughout the month of August, Jiffy Lube customers are invited to make a donation of $3 or more to MDA at participating locations. In return, customers receive a MUSCLE UP! savings book containing offers totaling more than $100 from Jiffy Lube and other national retailers, including Men's Wearhouse, Fuddruckers®, and Office Depot®.

"Jiffy Lube and its franchisees are committed to giving back to the communities in which we live and operate," says Sara Smith, Director of Marketing for Jiffy Lube International, Inc. "We take pride in our long-standing relationship with MDA.  The MUSCLE UP! campaign enables us to come together with our valued customers to support those living with muscle disease."

Since launching MUSCLE UP! in 2012, the campaign has raised more than $6.5 million in support of MDA Summer Camp, research, and family services, all making a difference as MDA continues to be a leader in the neuromuscular disease community. 

"We are very proud of our partnership with Jiffy Lube as it makes it possible for MDA to continue our work to transform the lives of children and adults living with muscular dystrophy, ALS, and related neuromuscular diseases," says MDA President and CEO Lynn O'Connor Vos. "The impact of this funding is clear when you see kids learning vital life skills, gaining independence and confidence, and making life-long friendships at an MDA Summer Camp especially for their needs. We are thankful for the unwavering support of everyone at Jiffy Lube including the franchisees, service center employees, and customers."
