The event marks Drive Pink Across America Day — an event that has the car giant delivering 5,000 to 6,000 gift bags to cancer patients across the country.
“To be able to give these gift bags to these patients that are going through a very difficult time in their lives,” said Benny Dominguez, President of AutoNation Market, “and to be able to put a smile on their faces is really something that we appreciate, and we’re just glad to do.”
The initiative is part of the company’s Breast Cancer Awareness campaign.
AutoNation has raised more than $20 million for cancer-related charities.
