Known as the fresh approach in automotive accident repairs, Gemini Accident Repair Centre’s have taken a fresh look at Corporate Social Responsibility by engaging their franchisees to raise vital funds for Variety – The Children’s Charity of Queensland by doing what they do best – repair cars.
But this was no bake sale. By leveraging their partnership with leading parts supplier, Auto Parts Group, who offered a donation for each of their parts used, Gemini Accident Repair Centre’s across the nation raised over $33,000 to support Variety Queensland in their vital mission.
