BREAST CANCER AWARENESS FUNDRAISER:

Diesel industry leaders throughout the U.S. continue to raise support for breast cancer awareness through a fundraiser drawing for a rebuilt 2001 Peterbilt 379. The remodel is progressing to completion and once the truck is complete it is anticipated to be worth $80,000.

This fundraiser will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF) through the Tough Enough to Wear Pink program. The BCRF was founded in 1993 as an independent, not-for-profit organization.

The mission of the BCRF is to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime by providing critical funding for innovative clinical and translational research at leading medical centers worldwide, and increase public awareness about good breast health. Currently, over 90 cents of every dollar donated goes to breast cancer research and awareness programs.

All breast cancer fundraiser tickets sales will be donated to the BCRF through the Tough Enough to Wear Pink (TETWP) Program. TETWP was created by entrepreneur and breast cancer survivor Terry Wheatley to bring the sport of professional rodeo and the western community together to rally against breast cancer.

Members of the diesel industry are covering all costs associated with the truck rebuild. Sponsors include: Performance Diesel Inc. (PDI), Jones Performance, Bridgestone, Twelve Gauge Customs, ASET, PPG, IDEAL Distributors, Lincoln Chrome, Four State Trucks, Valley Chrome Plating, NOVUS Glass, Bloomer Trailers, Setco LIPE Clutch, Bad Ass Custom Truck Parts, Best Deal Spring Inc., Dura-Lite, FASS, and Rainbow Sign & Banner.

The breast cancer awareness fundraiser has been extended to run through December 2012, where the truck will be given away at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nev. Winner need not be present to win.

The breast cancer awareness truck will be available for viewing at the Great West Truck Show (GWTS) June 14-16, 2012, at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Great American Trucking Show (GATS) August 23-25, 2012, at the Dallas Convention Center in Dallas, Texas, at the third annual PDI Customer Appreciation Dyno Event & Show 'N Shine November 2-3, 2012, in Saint George, Utah, as well as several rodeos.

Supporters of the fundraiser drawing for the rebuilt 2001 Peterbilt 379 are proud to support breast cancer research through the BCRF and TETWP charities. Fundraiser tickets are available for sale at $10 each. Or additional tickets can be purchased at a discounted rate of three for $25, seven for $50, or 16 for $100.
