PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Michelin North America Inc. has agreed to support TBC Corp.'s "Aligned in Hope" philanthropic partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) with a donation and rebate offer.
Michelin will support Aligned in Hope with a donation of undisclosed value and will offer a $70 mail-in rebate on the purchase of four qualifying Michelin-brand passenger or light truck tires purchased Jan. 18-31 from a participating NTB Tire & Service or Tire Kingdom retail outlet.
"We are honored to support Aligned in Hope and its mission to support children and families in need," Will Whitley, director of state, local government affairs and community relations for Michelin, said.
"Michelin is dedicated to driving our communities that we work and live in to a better future. Partnering with TBC in supporting the Aligned in Hope campaign further strengthens our ties to the communities we proudly work in."
The RMHC helps families with ill or injured children stay together, and close to the medical care their child needs at leading hospitals worldwide. Aligned in Hope provides support to RMHC and its local chapters through the following efforts:
- After their children leave the hospital, RMHC families receive a special membership card offering lifetime discounts on tires and maintenance services at any Tire Kingdom or NTB store.
- Tire Kingdom and NTB centers provide discounted services for Ronald McDonald House shuttle vehicles used to transport families.
- TBC companies provide discounted products used on the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, which provides access to medical, dental and health care resources in communities where children need it most.
Michelin is the third TBC supplier to become a supporter the RHMC. Earlier Valvoline Inc. and Interstate Batteries Inc. agreed to do so.
The RMHC is an integral part of TBC's corporate social responsibility.
