The Keystone Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway will kick-off Breast Cancer Awareness month with Cruz Pedregon and Snap-on helping to bring attention to The Pink Fund. The non-profit organization provides short term financial assistance to cover non-medical living expenses for cancer patients.
 
Snap-on is making an initial $50,000 donation to the organization, plus providing additional donations generated through a Snap-on sales promotion. Cruz and team will sport a special paint scheme, helmet and crew shirts for NHRA fans to see and learn more about the work of The Pink Fund.
 
“One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, and the average breast cancer treatment lasts seven to eight months,” says Molly McDonald, who founded The Pink Fund after her own breast cancer diagnosis. “We provide financial support that helps meet basic needs and remove some of the financial burden to help breast cancer patients focus on healing.”
 
“Breast cancer is a national health crisis, most common amongst females. A breast cancer diagnosis is devastating for those fighting the disease and their loved ones. Those impacted also face the additional worry of covering everyday financial obligations,” says Yvette Morrison, vice president of marketing, Snap-on Tools Group. “Wrapping the Snap-on Funny Car and having Cruz involved in the NHRA Midway outreach at three races will help raise awareness of how The Pink Fund provides assistance when a breast cancer patient needs help with living expenses. Snap-on is proud to support The Pink Fund.”
 
Snap-on will have a tent on the NHRA Midway in Reading, Dallas and Las Vegas for race attendees to take on a skills challenge, make a dollar donation and receive a raffle ticket for drawings all weekend. Prizes will include helmets signed by Cruz Pedregon.
