Chicago, as the business and industrial center of the Midwest, is known for its strong, broad-shouldered people. Another quality of its inhabitants is their big hearts. This is evident in the way that Chicagoland Jiffy Lube locations and customers support local nonprofit organizations.

Jiffy Lube has been a major sponsor of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation for three years. Jiffy Lube sponsors several teams at its annual Walk-a-thon event. Jiffy Lube^® employees have been saluted for their efforts in the organization's official publications.

The American Cancer Society's local annual golf tournament has benefited from Jiffy Lube^® being its title sponsor for the last two years. The relationship grew from Jiffy Lube^®'s association with the Chicago Cubs and the team's legendary third baseman Ron Santo, who is a spokesperson for the organization.

The Neediest Kids Fund, a long-running program in the area run by the Robert McCormick Foundation, benefited from the car care company's support last December. Jiffy Lube locations sold special $5 Christmas ornaments designed by WGN Radio personality Spike O'Dell to customers. The campaign raised $40,000 for the organization which supports many after-school programs for children.

Chicagoland Jiffy Lube will support St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital in Memphis with a major fund-raising effort this year. The funds will go to help support the outstanding work of the hospital in finding a cure for cancer.
