Prestone, a producer of antifreeze/coolant, this week launched “Own it for Good,” a nationwide initiative that will spotlight and help vehicle owners who use their cars “for good.” Through a partnership with the National Volunteer Fire Council and volunteer fire departments in the Chicago, New York City, and Washington, D.C., metropolitan areas, Prestone’s team of certified technicians will winterize volunteer firefighters’ vehicles from Nov. 16–20.

The three-city tour will be on Nov. 16 in the New York City area, before traveling to the metropolitan areas of Chicago (Nov. 18) and Washington D.C. (Nov. 20). In each city the Prestone team will set-up at a local fire station, where volunteer firefighters from across the region will bring their personal vehicles to be winterized by a team of certified technicians.

Additionally, Prestone will make a $15,000 donation to the NVFC as well as a $5,000 donation to each individual event-site fire station.
