Driven Brands Charitable Foundation
We invite you to join the Driven Brands community, including each of our brands, employees, employees, vendors and customers, in improving the communities in which we live and work.
What is Driven Brands Charitable Foundation?
The Driven Brands Charitable Foundation was officially established in 2012 as a means for our company to be able to give back to those in need in the communities in which we live and work. Since our very first fundraising event, we have grown tremendously. Today, we operate in partnership with each of our individual brands to raise over $1,500,000 annually to support our charities of choice. We work directly with our franchise owners, vendors, employees, and customers to collectively support children’s hospitals nationwide, our nation’s active duty and veteran service men and women, and cystic fibrosis patients and their families. We are grateful for the support the entire Driven Brands community offers towards these efforts!
Our Goals
The Foundation is seeking to raise $1,950,000 in 2021 across each of our individual brands.
Inspire and unite our customers, franchisees and employees.
Raise a total $10 million by 2022.
Positively impact our communities.
Seek input from all to develop the best initiatives and programs
Driven Brands Charitable Foundation Charities of Choice
Honoring our Veterans
At Driven Brands, we believe in giving back to the brave men and women who fight for the freedoms that we enjoy today. Whether it’s transitioning back to civilian life, finding a job, or providing physical and mental health services, we support those veteran organizations that honor and empower our military servicemen and women.
Fighting Cystic Fibrosis
CARSTAR began fundraising for cystic fibrosis (CF) over 20 years ago, when a franchise partner’s granddaughter received a cystic fibrosis diagnosis. Since then, the CARSTAR commitment to its charity of choice has only grown, as have the funds raised. With franchise partners from across North America hosting golf tournaments, participating in their local Great Strides walk or donating directly at our annual conference, the entire CARSTAR family has been able to raise over $4 million since it’s initial partnership began. With no plans to slow down, CARSTAR is committed to supporting this cause, hoping to help the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Cystic Fibrosis Canada to change the meaning of CF to cure found.
Supporting children’s hospitals
Driven Brands Charitable Foundations is a proud supporter of local children’s hospitals across the country. We currently partner with 41 different hospitals, where all funds raised help provide pediatric healthcare services and care to children and their families every day. You can help by donating to a specific hospital in your region, or donate to our Children’s Hospital fund to help save the lives of a number of children around the country.
