On October 16th, a Chevrolet car show will be held in Smithtown for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This event will last from 10 a.m to 5 p.m. This car show's motive is not just looking to sell cars to customers but it is looking to raise money to help the fight against cancer for not only women but for several men diagnosed with breast cancer as well.
In 2010, about 207,090 women were predicted to be diagnosed with breast cancer according to seer.cancer.gov. Breast Cancer is a disease that may impact every single person but it is more of a hereditary disease. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is looking to help individuals fight cancer and raise awareness. With awareness of how powerful this disease is people will look to get tested earlier because the earlier one is tested the easier it will be to treat it. So there will be hundreds of events held to raise awareness as well as raising money to help cure the ones who are impacted by it. Although October is the month for Breast Cancer, it is every single day for the people who are affected by it along with their families.
This car show is going to donate one hundred dollars from each vehicle sold to the Huntington Breast Cancer Action Coalition. Chevrolet’s goal by the end of the day is to have raised and donated ten thousand dollars to the Breast Cancer Coalition, as stated by the manager, Peter Kontzanamys.
Along with these donations Chevrolet is also asking customers to donate their rebates, ten dollars to twenty-five dollars, on oil changes to the American Cancer Society. They don't stop there, in the month of September Chevrolet also donated two hundred dollars for every caution lap their pink Camaro performed. Chevrolet ended up donating 12,800 dollars !Therefore, this car show isn't the only thing that Chevrolet will be doing to help donate to Cancer but it is definitely on the list.
Cancer can hit anybody including those who aren’t getting up and making a difference in society to help those diagnosed. So do something to help those in need. There will be free food, raffles, and live music as well to keep the party going. Lend a helping hand and make breast cancer known!
