To host a Pump 'em Up event in your town go to www.pumpemup.org and download the flyer about proper tire inflation. We'll help you get free tire gauges to give away with the flyer so people can start to make a difference TODAY! Many kids and adults have thought of their own Pump 'em Up projects and I'm happy to help them and even pass on the good ideas to others who want to help. An 8 year old gave away the tire gauges we sent him when he went trick or treating! A factory worker at the M&M plant in Georgia got the company to install a Pump 'em Up station in the parking lot so all the employees could check their tires and properly inflate them easily for free. Both ideas have caught on and many kids are now giving a treat back at halloween and two more Free Air stations have been installed.
