Ford Warriors in Pink celebrate 19 years

As October rolls in, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities are kicking into full gear and the Ford Warriors in Pink celebrate 19 years of fighting this terrible disease that has affected so many.

Ford Warriors in Pink are known for their expansive pink apparel that they sell to raise awareness for breast cancer and 100 percent of the proceeds go directly to the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation for research and to help those battling the disease.

“Ford Warriors in Pink will continue to be a united force in the fight against breast cancer,” said Tracy Magee, Ford experiential marketing manager, in a press release. “As long as there are women and men out there battling breast cancer, we will be here fighting alongside them.”

Every year, a celebrity teams with the Ford Warriors in Pink to design a unique shirt to sell to help raise funds.  This year, actor Gilles Marini, who has appeared in “Switched at Birth,” “Brothers & Sisters” and “Dancing with the Stars,” has fashioned a shirt the draws on his emotional past with cancer.

Marini lost his father to cancer at a young age and his sister-in-law has battle breast cancer.  “I want to help put an end to breast cancer,” Marini said. “Too many lives have been lost already.”
