AutoNation is partnering with the American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) to help increase awareness and educate the public about cancer care and treatment.

The partnership jumpstarted with AutoNation’s recent $25,000 donation to ABCF. This will help the organization to aid diverse groups, regardless of age and gender, and underserved communities that have been impacted by cancer.

The donation and partnership echo the automotive retailer’s Drive Pink Mission (DRV PNK) which was started in 2015. Today, the DRV PNK initiative has already raised approximately $25 million, according to PR Newswire.

"I'm so proud that AutoNation's Drive Pink Mission is taking on a new dimension by helping underserved communities and improving access to cancer screenings and treatment. There is no better time than right now to acknowledge that this can make a measurable difference in the race to beat cancer," Ryan Hunter-Reay, 2014 Indianapolis 500 Winner, 2012 NTT IndyCar Series Champion and Drive Pink (DRV PNK) spokesperson, said.
