In partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), JAX Tyres & Auto is asking Australians to support research for breast cancer through its ‘Put a Cap on Breast Cancer’ initiative.
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October (Pinktober), JAX Tyres & Auto is encouraging Australians to raise funds to support breast cancer research by purchasing pink tyre valve caps. All donations go directly to NBCF with contributions starting at $10.
So far, the JAX Tyres & Auto campaign has raised more than $16,000 for NBCF with a goal of reaching $21,000 by the end of October to represent the 21,000 Australians diagnosed with breast cancer each year.
Renae McPhee from JAX Tyres & Auto Caloundra has donated 400 pink caps to LogicHaul to be fitted on their trucks across Australia. JAX Rockhampton franchisee owner, Brent Flanagan took action by organising a special event at the store where $750 was raised for NBCF, which was then matched by Brent, resulting in $1,500 being donated to breast cancer research.
JAX Tyres & Auto chief franchising operations officer, April Harwood said, “We are so proud to be associated with such an important cause, our stores are all very passionate about our partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the ‘Put a Cap on Breast Cancer’ initiative is a testament to this. We encourage everyone to join us, purchase pink valve caps, and help us reach our goal of $21,000 by the end of October.”
National Breast Cancer Foundation CEO, Associate Professor Cleola Anderiesz said, “The National Breast Cancer Foundation is grateful for the continued support of JAX Tyres & Auto. Every cap sold not only raises crucial funds for cancer research but also helps spread awareness about the impact of breast cancer. We hope to see pink caps on vehicles all over Australia.”
