From December 1 to 25, the franchisee's "Energy Elves" program divided $10,000 among three local branches of: the United Way, American Red Cross and Komen for the Cure. Each charity was given the task to retrieve as many votes using the Dr. Energy Saver voting system. Only one vote per day, per email address was allowed.

Their corporate contribution of $7,000 to the United Way of Kershaw County is a result of our community coming together to vote for our United Way," said United Way of Kershaw County President Donny Supplee. "When local businesses energize our campaign, we all win. We would like to give credit to everyone that cast their vote for us and encourage them to support this local business as they have supported us!"
