Greg's Japanese Auto Parts & Service dealerships will host a "Week of Relief" beginning Monday to benefit the Molly Hightower Friends of Orphans Foundation.

Proceeds from all oil changes will go directly to the foundation.

In addition, Greg's Japanese Auto will serve as a shoe drop-off donation site to benefit victims of earthquake-ravished Haiti. New and slightly used shoes will be accepted.

Greg Huntley, Greg’s Japanese Auto founder, will be presenting a check and a shoe collection to Mike Hightower, Molly's father, during a benefit concert Feb. 10 at the Crocodile, 2200 2nd Ave., Seattle. The festivities will start at 7 p.m. For show details, visit http://thecrocodile.com.

Huntley plans to accompany Mike Hightower to Haiti to deliver the shoes and help in the relief effort.

Molly Hightower of Port Orchard was only 22 years old when she died working with the Friends of the Orphans Foundation in Haiti during the earthquake. For more about her story, visit http://mynw.com/?nid=108&sid=270604.
