Phillips Chevrolet has raised $7,860 for the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign, leaving us $2,140 short of our $10,000 goal. For every test drive completed this October, we donate $10 to the cause. Here is how we got here and how you can help us cross the finish line.
How Did We Get to $7,860?
One test drive at a time. This month, we put a specially wrapped Chevy Traverse out front to remind everyone what this campaign is about. Anyone who stops in can take any vehicle in our inventory for a test drive, and each completed drive adds $10 to our total.
We update our progress board as the drives add up, and watching that number climb has become a monthly highlight for our team. Every update is a sign that people across the south suburbs are showing up for a cause that touches so many families.
Where Does the Money Go?
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is part of the American Cancer Society’s work to fight the disease, and October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Funds raised support research, early detection programs, and essential patient support resources. Those are the three areas where progress changes real outcomes for real people, which is why we wanted our campaign to put dollars directly behind them.
How Close Are We to Our Goal?
We started with a $10,000 target and have reached $7,860. That leaves $2,140 to raise before the month ends on Saturday, October 31. At $10 per test drive, every person who walks through our doors this week moves the number in the right direction. The gap is within reach, and we would love to close it with help from this community.
How Can You Help Before October Ends?
The process is simple. Stop by Phillips Chevrolet, check out the wrapped Traverse, and take any vehicle in our inventory for a test drive. You do not need a specific model in mind. If you have been curious about a Silverado, an Equinox, or a Traverse, this is a good week to find out how it fits your life.
A test drive fits easily into a lunch break or a Saturday errand, whether you are commuting through Tinley Park, working jobs around New Lenox, or heading in from La Grange or Chicago. You can also help by sharing this post with friends, family, and coworkers who may be thinking about their next vehicle. Every completed drive counts.
