Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

I was recently asked to help get the word out about a local breast cancer awareness initiative. While I have been fortunate in that no one in my immediate family has been diagnosed with breast cancer – I am fully aware of the alarming statistics out there.

In fact, one in every eight women will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime, according to BreastCancer.org. In 2008, that meant more than 200,000 women nationwide were diagnosed, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s a lot of women.

If it hasn’t impacted you or your family and friends yet, the odds are alarmingly against us that it will. In an effort to raise awareness about breast cancer and provide funding for research, Chevrolet and the Northeast Ohio Chevy Girls campaign has partnered up with the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer initiative. What do you need to do to help? It’s really easy!

Join your Chevy Network Dealers in the fight to end breast cancer. For every test drive on Saturday, October 6th, Chevy will contribute $10 to the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer initiative, up to $130,000, and you’ll receive a lovely pink pashmina fashion scarf in return.

So grab a few girlfriends and before that night on the town and do quick test drive. You will not only receive a free gift but also will be helping fund this initiative. And if you are enticed, you may find yourself wanting to buy a Chevy! You can also help by getting the word out by Tweeting the hashtag #drive2endcancer

Here’s what the scarf looks like… gorgeous!

I was recently asked to help get the word out about a local breast cancer awareness initiative. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. In an effort to raise awareness about breast cancer and provide funding for research, Chevrolet and the Northeast Ohio Chevy Girls campaign has partnered up with the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer initiative.

In addition to the test drive a Chevrolet campaign that took place on October 6, a secondary campaign is now underway. This time you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home to help support this cause.

For every new Like on the Gotta Love Chevy NEO page, $1 will be contributed to the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer initiative. You can also help by getting the word out about this campaign by Tweeting the hashtag #like2endcancer
