Community Giveback

Our way for all of us to help the animals and charities in our own communities make a real difference. For the family down the street, the puppy somebody surrendered, and the cat nobody came back for.

How you can pitch in

When you buy car parts from us, you can round your total up to the next dollar or pick an amount. 100% of it goes to the Fox Valley Humane Association. We send everything we collect at the end of every month.

Our Giveback Efforts

The Dog Days Giveaway

September 30, 2026

From August 19th through September 19th, every $5 you spent on MartiniWorks apparel earned an entry to win a set of in-stock Motegi Racing wheels wrapped in Falken tires.

On September 30th we picked the winner and donated $542.30 to Safe Haven Pet Sanctuary. Car people showing up for animals. That is the whole point of Dog Days.

Lunches and a donation after the Appleton tornado

August 6, 2026

We packed lunches for the community after the July 27 tornado, and donated $4,397.06 to the Fox Valley Humane Association.

On July 27th, an EF3 tornado touched down in our own backyard of Appleton and Menasha, Wisconsin. From 11:56 AM to 12:22 PM it traveled 12.1 miles south, damaging homes, destroying businesses, and displacing pets and animals.

The 140 mph winds took down power lines and blocked the roads people use to get home or head out for supplies. With more than 79,000 without power for the following week, the local community stepped in to help those in need, and that included us.

Why we do this

When I was a kid, my $20 weekly allowance went to cat food. I'd walk it down to the OXXO near our place in Texas, buy what I could carry, and spend my vacations hunting down the cats, dogs, and whatever else nobody was feeding. Then I'd beg my dad to let me bring them home. Some of them made it into the house, but most didn't.

Two decades later I'm still at it, just with neighborhood cats, the local raccoons, and a few sanctuaries that pick up when Bekah & I call. Since we started MartiniWorks in 2022, I've wanted a way for all of us to do this together in a bigger way. Not for a press release or some tax thing, but for the family down the street, the puppy somebody surrendered, or the cat nobody came back for.

Now we've got one. MartiniWorks is genuinely excited to launch our giveback initiative; a way for us all to help the charities in our local communities to make a real difference.
