October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and dealerships across the country are taking action to help increase awareness and raise funds to find a cure. Since Breast Cancer Awareness Month first began in 1985, the ability for early detection and the likelihood of survival for this terrible disease have both drastically improved. 

Despite the progress, there is still a long way to go, and local franchised dealerships are chipping in to make life easier for those impacted and raise money and awareness to better detect and treat breast cancer. Here are just a few examples of how dealers are stepping up:

• R.M. Stoudt Ford in Jamestown, N.D. participated in the 16th annual Running of the Pink in Jamestown to raise money for women’s health programs. The dealership helped raise more than $50,000 in this year’s race.
  
• Brandon Tomes Subaru in McKinney, Texas delivered 80 blankets to Cancer Center Associates as part of the Subaru Loves to Care program. These gifts were accompanied by personalized messages of hope written by the customers and staff at Brandon Tomes Subaru.
• Stan McNabb Chevrolet Cadillac in Columbia, Tenn. wrapped their building in pink to help raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Stan McNabb wraps their building in pink every October to honor those who have been affected by breast cancer.
