Together we can make a significant impact for kids fighting brain cancer.
For over 100 years, automotive dealerships have been agents of change in their communities, supporting countless local events, leagues and charities. This initiative seeks to amplify our efforts against a specific opponent - pediatric brain cancer.
Brain cancer claims more lives of children than any other childhood cancer. Pediatric cancers in general lack funding for research - only 4% of U.S. federal funding goes toward pediatric cancers. Even among those cancers, pediatric brain cancer suffers from lack of funding for clinical trials as many of the most promising treatments are not funded by drug companies as is the norm with many other trials.
In such a space of great need and scarce funding, together the dealership community can make a real difference. The Violet Foundation for Pediatric Brain Cancer was founded by a car dealer who lost his 3 year old daughter Violet to a brain tumor in 2022. With no paid employees, every dollar raised goes to research and to support families whose children are being treated.
Pediatric Brain Cancer does not discriminate - its effects are felt in every city across the country. As a participating sponsor, we will send you point of sale materials for your showroom to engage your customers and employees. With every car sold in October, we will collectively achieve real impact for the kids who suffer from this disease.
