Kia AutoSport goes PINK!

It's finally October! The weather is cooling off, and there is a slight pink tent around Tallahassee. You know what that means: Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

This year we are happy to announce that we are a sponsor for the  Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K! This year the 5K will be held on Sunday, October 19th at Cascades Park at 1:00 pm!

It's time to start a team, join a team, or walk as an individual! Register your team early at www.makingstrideswalk.org/leon

"Every Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is a powerful and inspiring opportunity to unite as a community to honor breast cancer survivors, raise awareness about steps we can take to reduce our risk of getting breast cancer, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society fight the disease with breast cancer research, information and services, and access to mammograms for women who need ...them in Leon county. Since Making Strides began 20 years ago, breast cancer death rates have declined more than 32 percent.

We are making history, and you have the opportunity to be involved in your community." (MSABC)

We are so excited for this event, and can't wait to see you there!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are recognizing the month by helping to raise awareness and donating a portion of all of our sales this month to Breast Cancer research. Everyday we will be posting facts about breast cancer in hopes to increase conversation and decrease fear. Breast cancer can happen to anyone, even men, so doing monthly self exams is very important. Early dectection is key to a good outlook once cancer has been diagnosed. Here are some facts about breast cancer:

In the United States, about 230,480 new cases of invasion breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the year 2011.

About 57,650 women will be diagnosed with non-invasive breast cancer in 2011

39,520 women will die from breast cancer in 2011.

You can increase your chances of survival with early detection. Self exams, regular clinical exams and mamograms starting at age 40 are so vital in early detection.
