The caps can be worn all day, every day and flew off the shelves last year - they're Bridgestone's special edition Light the Night blue valve caps.
Bridgestone Service Centre Wingham will be selling the blue valve caps for just $2 (per set of four), with 100 per cent of the proceeds to be donated to the Leukaemia Foundation as part of the organisation's fundraising efforts for its annual Light the Night initiative.
"Bridgestone is a principal partner of Light the Night, the Leukaemia Foundation's series of twilight walks held across the country annually," said Ashley Cleaver, owner of Bridgestone Service Centre Wingham.
"Participants walk with different coloured lanterns - lighting up the night to symbolise hope, remember a loved one and support critical research.
"We're encouraging everyone to get involved by wearing our blue valve caps with pride. The whole community can support a great cause by lighting up the night-and the road - all for just $2.
"All proceeds from sales of the caps will help fund vital research to help find better treatments and cures for leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma."
Bridgestone Australia Ltd is a proud supporter of the Leukaemia Foundation and has been for 28 years - providing patient transport vehicles, funding research and assisting with patient accommodation.
Last year the blue valve cap initiative raised $60,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation's critical research.
The special edition blue valve caps will be available at Bridgestone Service Centre Wingham throughout September and October.
