Leap For A Cure

Breast cancer continues to affect loved ones in our community, and we want nothing more than to find a cure. The Preston Automotive Group (PAG) mission during the month of October is to support the people diagnosed and their family members by raising as much awareness and funds as possible. In 2014, we launched our initial “Leap For a Cure” program. We hold this event annually, consisting of a $50 donation to the American Cancer Society for every vehicle purchased. Last year, 252 cars were sold across PAG –– raising a total of $12,600. Visit Pittsville Ford and the PAG family of dealerships to support our fight against breast cancer and receive a pink frog as a token of appreciation with your new vehicle.

Story Behind The Pink Frog

Our special-edition pink Preston Frog arrived in 2014 in honor of our dearly beloved Diana Vincent, a previous PAG employee. Diana organized various breast cancer events at our dealerships before her passing in 2017. We now wear pink on Friday’s and “Paint the Plex Pink” in October at our sister location –– the Preston Autoplex –– in remembrance of Diana and the millions suffering from this disease.

“1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.” — The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.

Driven To Inspire

The American Cancer Society hosts a “Driven To Inspire” event every year and honors our PAG family as a Community Partner. Since 2016, we have wrapped a Ford F-150 in pink for guests and associates to sign and park our fleet of pink pickup trucks’ at local events. Join our “Leap For a Cure” by visiting Pittsville Ford and the PAG family of dealerships this October! We hope to see you there.
