Asheville Chevrolet would like to invite the public to
join them this October for the #I Drive For event. #I
Drive For is a fundraiser to help find a cure for breast cancer. For every “#avlchevydrives4” on
Instagram and Twitter, the national Chevrolet Corporation will be donating $5 to
the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research. Because this cause is so near and dear to their hearts, Asheville
Chevrolet will be hosting a breast cancer fundraiser on Tuesday, October 24,
2017 from 4 -7 p.m., featuring live entertainment by local recording artist Lyric, sponsored by Ingles Markets. Asheville
Chevrolet will also have pink ribbons flyers available for purchase, proudly
displayed in their windows for the entire month of October.
Asheville Chevrolet is partnering with
Park Ridge Health to educate people about breast cancer prevention, ways to
seek medical solutions and counseling. “Park Ridge Health is excited to be part
of the #I Drive For event and its goal to increase awareness about
breast cancer and to raise funds to support patients through their cancer
battles,” said Jimm Bunch, Park Ridge Health President & CEO. “We see the
benefits of programs like this in the women who come to our nationally accredited
breast center after detecting a cancer early, thanks to educational efforts
that led them to have a mammogram.”
Along with entertainment by local
artist, Lyric, the event will include
food and refreshments, all sponsored by Ingles.
Asheville Chevrolet is making a
difference in the local area by matching up to $1,500 to donate to The Hope
Chest for Women. The Hope Chest is a local non-profit that provides women who
are going through breast cancer with resources,
referrals, education on cancer prevention, in addition to community and
financial support. Cancer has affected everyone, even at Asheville Chevrolet.
The mother of Asheville Chevrolet owner Mac Alonzo was affected by breast
cancer along with Executive Manager Stan Anders, a cancer survivor. “It is our
responsibility to do everything possible to find a cure for this horrible
disease that affects so many of us or our loved ones. It is a privilege for Asheville Chevrolet to
participate in this worthy endeavor to raise funds for cancer research and a
cure,” said Anders
The event is a kid-friendly event, so
bring the whole family to enjoy some local food and entertainment. Please help
make a difference in WNC by attending #I Drive For! Asheville Chevrolet is
thankful for sponsors Park Ridge Health, WLOS-MY 40, Asheville Citizen Times
and Ingles.
