BREAST CANCER AWARENESS FUNDRAISER:

St. George, Utah (November, 2011) – Performance Diesel Inc. kicked off its Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser at their second annual Customer Appreciation Dyno Event & Show 'N Shine Competition.

PDI is rebuilding a 2001 Peterbilt 379 that will be raffled off for the fundraiser. Once the remodel is complete the truck is anticipated to be worth $60,000.

The fundraiser will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation through the Tough Enough to Wear Pink program.

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF) was founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder as an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to funding innovative clinical and translational research.

BCRF is considered one of the most efficient organizations in the country and it received 4 stars from Charity Navigator for nine consecutive years. In 2010, BCRF awarded $33 million to 172 scientists across the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Australia. Currently, more than 90 cents of every dollar donated is directed to breast cancer research and awareness programs.

BCRF features the Tough Enough To Wear Pink (TETWP) charity. TETWP was created by entrepreneur and breast cancer survivor Terry Wheatley to bring the sport of professional rodeo and the western community together to rally against breast cancer. Since its inception in 2004, TETWP has empowered rodeos and western events in the U.S. and Canada to focus attention on the need for a cure.

All funding secured through raffle ticket sales will be donated to the BCRF. PDI and other members of the diesel industry will cover all costs associated with the truck rebuild. Current sponsors include: Performance Diesel, Twelve Gauge Customs, PPG, Lincoln Chrome, Dura-Lite, Setco LIPE Clutch, Jones Performance, FASS Fuel Systems, Bridgestone, ASET, Ideal Distributors, and Rainbow Sign & Banner.

The Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser will run through November 2012, where the truck will be given away at PDI's 3rd Annual Customer Appreciation Dyno Event and Show 'N Shine. Winner need not be present to win.

PDI is proud to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, BCRF and the TETWP charities. For more information about the fundraiser or to purchase charity tickets, call us at 800-511-1231.
