NAPA AUTO PARTS Joins Forces With Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, Invites Customers To "Get Back and Give Back"

ATLANTA, July 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NAPA AUTO PARTS today announced the launch of its "Get Back and Give Back" program in support of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund (IFHF), an independent not-for-profit serving United States military personnel wounded or injured in service and their families.Throughout the busy travel month of July, NAPA customers will receive up to a $25 mail-in rebate for every battery, alternator, and starter they purchase, which they can donate all or a portion of to the IFHF.  Additionally, NAPA will donate $1 to the IFHF for each redeemed rebate.

To raise awareness of the fundraising effort, NAPA stores across the country will be hosting a "Black Out," where employees will trade their usual blue and yellow uniforms from July 1 – 7 and instead sport a black NAPA t-shirt with the IFHF's logo, along with the phrase, "We Believe In Heroes." Signage will also be placed throughout NAPA stores across the country. Additionally, participating locations of the over 13,000 nationwide NAPA Auto Care Repair Centers will also be promoting the "Get Back and Give Back" program.

"NAPA is proud to support the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and the important work that they do for the incredible men and women of the Armed forces and their families," said Gaylord Spencer, Vice President of Marketing Strategy, NAPA AUTO PARTS. "As Americans across the country hit the road this July to visit their friends and loved ones, we encourage them to remember our troops, honoring and supporting them in whatever way they can."
