Over the past decade MotoringFile has grown along with the MINI brand tremendously. But more readers and more sales shouldn’t be the metric we live our lives by. Recently my father was diagnosed with cancer and while he’s fighting and arguably winning, it’s a cause that is on my mind these days. I’m guessing it’s on a few of yours as well.

So it’s time for MotoringFile and maybe even you to give back. When it comes to fighting cancer there’s one that we have a fighting chance of preventing. A staggering one in eight women will get breast cancer in their lifetime. Yet the chance of surviving is greater than 92% when detected early. So let’s do something about it.

It’s about knowledge. And in this case knowledge that leads directly to saving lives.

Finding a charitable organization to give to is easy of course. But finding the perfect one took a little time. The key stat we looked at is number of cents on the dollar that actually goes to the cause. We also wanted to find a partner that reached women and gets them to take action and be proactive with their health earlier. With Bright Pink, we found the perfect partner.

Where Our Funds Go

$.93 of every dollar goes into educational programming for young women and their health providers. In 2015 alone, Bright Pink will teach more than 35,000 young women the breast and ovarian health basics through Brighten Up® Educational Workshops. Each woman reached is a potential life saved. By educating 3,250 women’s health providers, they’ll reach 12 million women in 2016.

And with that growth comes some added responsibility and commitment to not just help ourselves but help others.
