ONYX Automotive Celebrates Heart Awareness Month This February

 
At ONYX Automotive, we proudly recognized Heart Awareness Month in February 2025 and honored those impacted by heart disease and stroke. With heart disease being a leading cause of death in the United States, it’s vital to raise awareness and encourage heart-healthy practices. Thanks to the generosity of our associates, customers, and community, we raised over $3,000 for the American Heart Association, making a meaningful impact in the fight against heart disease.

Join Us for Wear Red Day!

On February 21st, 2025, ONYX had WEAR RED DAY! Everyone was encouraged to wear red to show support for the fight against heart disease and stroke. It’s a simple but powerful way to raise awareness and spark conversations about heart health. ONYX associates had the option to purchase a Wear Red Day Driving Good t-shirt with a $15 donation to the American Heart Association.

Supporting the American Heart Association

In February, our customers had the opportunity to support the American Heart Association through two simple actions:

• Round-Up for Heart Health: When visiting any ONYX Automotive service center, customers could round-up their purchase to the nearest dollar. Every cent of the round-up amount was donated to the American Heart Association.
• Direct Donations: Using the Driving Good app to donate any amount. Every contribution makes a difference in the fight against heart disease and stroke.

Engaging the Team in Heart-Healthy Activities

Our team is integral to our efforts to promote heart health. Throughout February, our associates participated in the following ways:

• Wore Red Ribbon Pins to show solidarity and support.
• Participated in a Heart Healthy Potluck Day, featuring nutritious foods and snacks that align with heart-healthy eating habits.
• Wore red on February 21st, 2025 in honor of Wear Red Day.

Resources & Training for a Healthier Future

To further our mission of awareness and education, we offered valuable resources:

• Educational Materials: Heart-healthy recipes and preventative health information on heart disease and stroke provided by the American Heart Association.
• CPR Training: Giving our associates the skills to respond to heart emergencies.

Why We Care

The most important reason we’re supporting Heart Awareness Month is to create greater awareness of heart disease and stroke. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1 in 5 people in the United States died from heart disease in 2022. By coming together as a community, we can take steps toward reducing these numbers and improving heart health for all.

Thank you to everyone who made the ONYX Heart Awareness Month 2025 impactful. Together, we can drive good for heart health!
