Joey Logano along with breast cancer survivors paint pit wall pink at Charlotte Motor Speedway

Huntersville, NC. (October 1, 2014) – Joey Logano joined twenty breast cancer survivors Tuesday at Charlotte Motor Speedway to kick off the first day of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month by painting the pit wall pink. It took several hours and eighty gallons of paint for the cancer survivors in attendance and Logano to paint the 6,000 square feet of pit wall pink.

In addition to Logano’s contribution to painting the pit wall pink, he also made a $5,000 donation to The Pink House, which is supported by Carolina Breast Friends. The Pink House is a unique center for breast cancer survivors and a sanctuary for the hopeful transition to treatment and cure.

Concluding the event Logano surprised a three-time breast cancer survivor and current Mayor of Mid-Land, NC, Kathy Kitts the opportunity to introduce him during driver introductions at the Bank of America 500 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on October 11, 2014. Logano ultimately decided to have Kitts introduce him before the race to commemorate the importance of breast cancer awareness and to honor someone who has battled this disease three times in the past three years.

The importance of the Joey Logano Foundation is to assist those who are in need of a second chance, which ultimately aligned with the view of the Carolina Breast Friends and led to the collaboration between the two non-profit companies.
