Our Values: Honoring Educators with Gift Certificates for Teachers

At Chapel Hill Tire, we believe in the power of gratitude and the importance of being helpful to our community. That’s why we’re proud to continue our tradition of supporting local educators with our Gift Certificates for Teachers initiative.

A red apple is sitting on the edge of a wooden desk.

In 2024, we took this initiative to new heights by giving away over 5,000 free oil change gift certificates to teachers and school staff across the Triangle. This program not only eased the financial burden on educators but also served as a token of our immense gratitude for their unwavering commitment to shaping the minds of future generations.


Our dedication to recognizing teachers has always been a cornerstone of Chapel Hill Tire’s values. This year, we launched a dedicated web page where community members could nominate schools for these certificates. The response was overwhelming, with more than 50 schools participating in this heartfelt program.


“We believe in treating each other like family at Chapel Hill Tire,” said Marc Pons, president. “Our Gift Certificates for Teachers program is a way to extend that family spirit to our local educators, who do so much for our community.”


Through initiatives like these, guided by our core values of gratitude and helpfulness, Chapel Hill Tire continues to make a positive impact. We’re grateful to everyone who participated in this program, from the nominators to the educators who received the certificates. Your support allows us to keep giving back to the community we cherish.



As we look to the future, Chapel Hill Tire remains committed to finding new ways to support our community and express our appreciation for those who make a difference every day. To learn more about our initiatives and community involvement, visit our website or stop by any of our 11 Triangle locations. Together, let’s continue driving forward with gratitude and kindness.
