Drive pink 2015

[RobNoLimit]

In an effort to help in the fight against Breast cancer, a few drivers here have joined our "Drive Pink" campaign. In the past year or two, my wife and I have been exposed to more cancer (not personally) and cancer information than we really would choose to know. It is eye opening, and can make you a bit scared to say the least. With so many friends in the fight, we thought maybe we could do something to help out, and after searching and talking to many organizations, we came to the Susan G. Komen foundation. They helped us to set up the Drive pink program, and then I asked some friends to help out.



The program works like this. A driver will wrap his/her car in pink for the 2015 season. Komen is setting up a donation page on their web site, with links back to the drivers/cars/companies. Anyone who wants to donate can go to that page, pick a Drive pink driver/car, and make a donation. The standard donation is $40.00 to the S.G.K. foundation. For this donation, each contributor will be allowed to place the name of someone in the cancer fight (20 characters max) on the car that they choose. The driver will then write that name on their car (appx 7/8" tall, 9" wide) and keep it there all season. People can choose more than one car/driver, and more than one name, but the donation to S.G.K is $40 per name, per car. All proceeds will go directly to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

My goal is simple, to raise money for the fight against Breast cancer. A car can hold 800 to 1000 names. So, that's $32,000 to $40,000 per car/driver. If we can ten to twelve car/driver teams that could add up to $320,000 to $480,000. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!!

Each driver involved will put up their own posts, as to why they want to be a part of this and what their own goals are. Drive Pink has it's own Facebook and Instagram pages as well. I'm sure you'll see a lot about this in the coming season. If you would like to get involved in any way, please let us know.

Komen has some serious donation issues. They have a bad reputation...

I wont give a dime for the pink stuff, there are real cancer needs.
