February 18, 2010 – Pine Brook, NJ: AutoTex PINK, a division of woman-owned WEXCO Industries, a leading global supplier of windshield wiper blades, has joined the fight against breast cancer. Wexco will make a donation to NBCF this year to fulfill their mission to provide mammograms for underserved women.
“As a woman-owned company, AutoTex PINK is dedicated to ‘Wiping Out Breast Cancer” with the aid of our customers and strategic partners,” said Paula Lombard, WEXCO president and co-founder of AutoTex PINK. “Through this partnership, our goal is to support those affected by breast cancer, increase overall awareness for the disease and fund the ongoing research that will hopefully one day overcome this dreaded challenge.”
To better promote the cause, the company has created a community Web site. MyAutoTexPINK.com is a one-stop shop for women’s automotive advice including car care basics, detailed automotive buying advice and driving tips. The site will also allow members to share photos and stories, communicate with peers about specific issues, even post local and national breast cancer events.
“Women come together over important women’s issues such as breast cancer,” said Lombard. “We want to use this platform to educate women about their bodies and their vehicles. Our theme – ‘Healthy You/Healthy Car’ – is an easy way to help women understand the importance of keeping themselves and their vehicles in top running condition.”
