CoolDrive Fuelling Hope for Kids with Cancer

16 Jan, 2025

CoolDrive Auto Parts continued its support of the Kids with Cancer Foundation in 2024, conducting multiple campaigns and incentives to contribute funds for families in their time of need.

“The Kids with Cancer Foundation works tirelessly to provide much-needed financial assistance to children aged 0-18 diagnosed with cancer, standing as a beacon of hope and support for families navigating the arduous journey of a childhood cancer diagnosis,” said John Blanchard, Executive Chairman at CoolDrive Auto Parts.

“These funds raised by CoolDrive will be utilised by the Kids with Cancer Foundation to contribute to its essential services and support initiatives, ensuring that the lives of these young warriors and their families are made more manageable during such challenging times.

During June and July last year, CoolDrive donated a percentage of proceeds – totalling more than $7,000 – from its ‘Electrical Extravaganza’ promotion to the Foundation.

CoolDrive also partnered with the Blanchard Racing Team to deliver a dream-come-true for some of these warriors, with the opportunity to revel in the high-speed excitement of Supercars racing.

Selected children and their families were treated to an unforgettable day at the racetrack during the Supercars Sandown race weekend in September, where they received an exclusive VIP experience, and the chance to jump in one of the BRT Supercars for a hot lap experience.

“The special guests felt the roar of the engines and the rush of the race up close, giving them a day of adrenaline-fuelled joy amidst their courageous battles. The event was marked by wide grins and laughter, a testament to the success of the experience in kindling positive spirits,” continued John Blanchard.

“Contributions, no matter how big or small, can make a remarkable difference in the lives of children and families who rely on the Foundation’s invaluable assistance. After all, the race against childhood cancer is a race we should all be invested in winning.”
