Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm Sandy Collins. This is my heart since we like
to focus our spotlight on business in town that our
community mine give back to the communities and organizations that
support families here in the state. My next guest is
al Donnan. He is the head of Donovan's Auto entire Center.
They got multiplications here in Cincinnati. Very special special going
on this month honor Cancer Awareness Month. First of all,
(00:25):
welcome to Joe. You are the son of the original owner.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Is that right correct? Yeah, that is correct.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Your website has this really cute story about how dad
came to starting the business. Can you tell me that
story real quick?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
So, I mean, basically, Dad worked for Firestone at the time,
which is a bridge stone.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Firestone this is in the fifties.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
This is in the fifties.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And what he did he went around and opened up
Firstain locations for him and he was in Louisville, Kentucky,
and he told my mom if they moved me back Cincinnati,
I'm going to go ahead and open up my own store. So,
I mean, all my brothers and sisters were born in
Cincinnati except for one. So then Firestone said, hey, we're
moving back to Cincinnati. We want you to open this store.
(01:08):
So he moved back and then he found the piece
of property at sixty one eleven Mcnomery Road. I remember
it like it was yesterday, and he started, you know,
a firestone location independ dealer himself. Then his brother got
involved and his brother was a partner and they did
the other and then finally my uncle decided to get
out of the business and my dad and my oldest
(01:29):
brother Denny, they took it over. When I first started
working for my father, we sold plances back in the
day you're good to your store, to fires and stores.
They sold appliances, washers, dryers for a dreers fight that.
So when my dad hired me, basically that's what I did,
is i'd overwhelm and delivered appliances, and then I started
(01:51):
learning how to work on the cars, change oil and
change cares.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I love that story portion where the back of the
building is just a slab where you changed Irish for people. Yes, yes,
and now you have all these stores in Kenwood and
Blue Ash, pleasant Ridge.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yep, Dana Avenue we went brand new Auto Foreigner and
Dana Avenue as well, and so yes, we're blessed. This
is what I always like to say, but yeah, my
father was changing the tires outside.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So yeah, we're here because of October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
And Donovan Auto Service has got their program called give
the Girls a Break. What is the meaning of give
the girls a break?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
So I used to do it for another big chain organization.
I used to give money to that and you know
it was called Breaks for Breast, which is a great organization,
and we donated all the money to the Cleveland Clinic
when there was a doctor Vincentoey, who has a vaccination
for breast cancer. For many years, we gave to that organization.
(02:54):
And then I said to a friend of mine that
owns another shop as well, all auto Care, friend of mine,
Brian coffin Us, so we should do this as a
local thing. And I was heavily involved with the Karen
Wellington Foundation. What Karen Wellington does is send women or
families on trips or things that they want to do.
(03:15):
Maybe it's a balloon ride, or it's a baseball game
or something like that. We're able to allow them to
do that and.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Basically keep their mind off of their cancer.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It's basically what's what we call it is we want
to put fun back in her life because that's all
they do is so it's basically give the girls, give
the girls breasts a break, and then of course we
spell break br ak, associating it with a break job
in the automotive repair. So basically that's how Actually my
(03:45):
nephew Kyle Donovan came up with the name.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I do believe it was him that came up with
the name.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
And then we actually have our own little logo and
we've gotten, you know, multiple shops involved. It's us, It's Omer's,
it's Pullman's, Community Car Care, Snyder's carcare why aming in Automotive,
Double Works, and Avid. Those are all the people throughout
the Cincinnati area that are participating in this as well.
(04:11):
You bring your cars in, we will look the cars
over and if you need breaks, what we do is
like we're not out there to sell you breaks if
you don't need them, right, so, no one's going to
do that. But if you do need breaks, what we
do is we give you the break pads, which gives
anywhere from usually one hundred and fifty dollars to two
hundred dollars value. We give those to you and then
(04:34):
whatever that break job is, we donate ten percent of
that break job to the Karen Wellington Foundation, and then
we present a check to them. So over the years
from us doing this so and we keep getting bigger,
we were able to raise one hundred thousand dollars for
the Karen Wellington.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Found It's fantastic because some of those trips, you know,
they're not just taking care of the woman, they're taking
care of her kids and her husband and sending off
to far away places. If you haven't ever heard of
the Karen Wellington Foundation, we've done some work with them
here on iHeart Sincy. The website is up for that
foundation and explains what they do for women with breast
cancer and girls. And they for the most part, they
(05:16):
provide a distraction, if you will, for women and have fun.
And I just read her husband's memorial that he gave
at her funeral. She passed away about eighteen years ago,
and she just sounded like the most amazing person. And
they wanted to make her wish she said if she
got you know, when she got better, she wanted to
(05:37):
put you know, give somebody a trip to was it
Disney World or something. They wanted to go to Florida
or something and so they made that happen for someone,
and now they do it all the time. Over three
thousand people have gotten some sort of a gift from
the Karen Wellington Foundation and they just do great work.
I got to go out and meet them a couple
of years ago at one of their events, and.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
It was just Fannington, the Yeah Kent.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
He's one of the best spokespersons for the Karen Wellington
And it's kind of funny. It is like when I
got involved, I didn't know anybody close that had cancer.
And since that time, which has been last year, I
celebrated ten years for our golf outing that we do
every year. Last year we celebrated ten years and we've
(06:23):
raised over a million dollars for Karen Wellington. So with
the golf outing and with us using the money from
Give the Girls a Break, we have raised over a
million dollars for them.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So I was wondering because I looked at their site
and saw that they have all these full time employees
and I thought, my gosh, they must be really successful
in doing what they're doing to be able to employ
that that many people. That's fantastic. Yeah, and of course
they need those folks to get this great work done.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Oh absolutely, I mean it's just you know, so that's
what everybody talks about.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's like, you know, we want to cure cancer, cure cancer,
and Kent was Kent's wife was like, I want to
put fun back in our lives, and that's how he
came up with this whole idea. And then of course
I said, I didn't know anybody. And it's literally, I
have some friends of mine that I invite every year
to our golf outing. And one of the individual's wife,
(07:20):
who was a nurse, she came down with triple negative
breast cancer, so she had to have her breast removed
and she's in you know, they got it all, thank God,
but you know, here she comes to our golf outing
and she's you know, she's got her bandan on because
she's lost all our hair and she's going through the
whole process. And then I nominated them and we were
(07:40):
able to give them a trip. So we gave them
a trip, but they didn't know where they were going
and we didn't know where they were going. So during
the golf outing, literally there was a doctor that was
there who's always been involved with it, and he walked
up to him and said, hey, congratulations on your trip.
Where are you going And he says, we don't know yet,
(08:01):
that they have to determine that yet. And he goes, no,
you know what, I know where you're going. He says,
I have a place in Hawaii and he says, I'm
going to give it to you and your wife for
two weeks. So literally at the golf out, it's amazing,
he announced that he was giving them. You know, now
we you know, we just giving him his place, which
(08:21):
is awesome. And that's kind of one of the ways
we do this is for Karen Wellington. A lot of
these places that we send these people are donations. People
donate their summer homes and you know, and that's that's
how we get those places. We luckily we don't have
to pay for those. We pay for everything for them
to go and but usually the location has been gifted
(08:46):
by someone that supports the Karen Wellington Foundation.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
What made you decide to do the breast cancer The.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Reason I was invited to the Karen Wellington golf outing
and you know, to be honest with you, I had
just gotten off of a board. I try to give
back in a lot of ways. And it was a
seat and family center and we help kids who needed counseling.
It was time for me to give back again. It
was just time. And so I played in this golf
(09:15):
outing and then my friend Robert Sambrook says, hey, I
want you to co chair this with me. And because
I had had some experience doing fundraising and stuff like that,
and I said, absolutely, you know what, it's time for
me to do it again. It's time to give back.
I've got some time and let's do this. So just
getting involved with the Karen Wellington Foundation, meeting Kent and
(09:36):
meeting all of the great people over at the Foundation,
it's been awesome. And then I was blessed enough to
actually go and witness a GIFH. So one of our
big sponsors is Links Unlimited. They sponsored the Karen Wellington
Foundation every single year and they were doing a gift
and this young couple shows up and they have two kids,
(10:00):
and she had no idea why she was at this place.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
She's like, why am I here?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
And it was just a room full of us and
we had a couple of Disney backpacks with the you know,
totally filled for the kids, and we basically got to
present to her that they were sending her to Disney,
her and her family to Disney. And just like the
gift that I gave during our you know golf ounding
no one to dry into place, I mean, just to
(10:25):
see her reaction. It's just and people don't realize some
people live in this bubble and they've had health their
whole lives. But when you go through so you know,
I have a grandson that went through it during COVID.
He had an inoperable cancer and he's in remission, but
he was two years old going through COVID, and so
it was the toughest years of our lives. And but
(10:50):
you get a taste of what they're going through once
you see that. I mean, they're at the hospital every
single day, right, So it's time to give back.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
And it's a great organization.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
You know, we send a lot of families on trips
and you know, and I just think that giving back
is one of the important things you can do in life.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Let's run down through that list of participating businesses again.
So they give the girls a break event through October
for those brake pads and such can be done at
Donovan's Auto Service. And then you want to give you out.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
And then so we have places throughout the Cincinnati area
and Kentucky. So Almer's Auto Care do believe, he's got
nine locations. Pullman's Automotive they're in the Hamilton area and
he has two locations. And we've got Community Car Care
in Alexandria, Kentucky, Snyder's Car Care, and we have Wyoming Automotive.
And then we have two more dub Works which is
(11:47):
in Madisonville and Avid which is I do believe in
the Fairfax area, so got a good range. And Donovan's
we have three locations all over Cincinnati as well.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And you can find a place.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
And you walk up and you say, give me the
give me the give the girls a break special.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
So most of the stores, we all have them decorated.
We got everything's pink. If you go into any of
our you know, if I go to our Ridge Road location,
it's all pinked out, blue ashes, all pinked out.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
This is what we do, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
And it's like we have signs outside and it's you know,
I mean, make me write them a big check. Yeah,
and uh, you know I want to write the check
and uh and give.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
