If you’ve been in New York City over the past week or so, you’ve probably seen them. They look just like any of our other buses, but they’re pink. Our Big Pink Buses have been on the road recently, but haven’t had any passengers. Well, that’s about to change.
Beginning Monday, April 16th, Big Pink Sightseeing will be running the bus tour that also fights for a cure:
Big Pink Bus
Not only have we wrapped a bunch of our buses in pink to support breast cancer awareness throughout New York City, but for every ticket sold, Gray Line New York is making a donation to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. While you take this exclusive, open-top, double-decker bus tour of Midtown and Downtown Manhattan, you will also be helping the fight against breast cancer.
If not for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, many facts about the genetic basis of breast cancer would not be known, the link between exercise, nutrition and breast cancer risk would not be established, and the rate of mortalities would not continue its downward curve. BCRF-funded scientists are responsible for these and many other critical achievements.
