FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- Gulf Oil LP said that it is bringing its visible support for breast cancer research and awareness to a new level in May by adding a pink ribbon to its iconic orange disk logo in six Major League Baseball parks across the country.
The move highlight's Gulf's continued support of the fight to end breast cancer, and reinforces the Gulf Oil Giving Foundation's ongoing efforts to make a difference in the lives of millions of people.
Beginning in May, the Gulf logo will be wrapped with a pink ribbon and on proud display for millions of fans at the Atlanta Braves' Turner Field, Baltimore Orioles' Camden Yards, Boston Red Sox's Fenway Park, Philadelphia Phillies' Citizens Bank Park, St. Louis Cardinals' Busch Stadium and Texas Rangers' Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
"We are proud to deepen our relationship as strong supporters of breast cancer research and awareness," said Rick Dery, senior vice president and chief sales and marketing officer for Gulf. "This month, as we celebrate Mother's Day, is a perfect time to add the highly recognized "pink ribbon" to our logo. We are pleased to be making a financial commitment through our national foundation to a cause that continues to impact the lives of so many families."
Additionally, Gulf announced that it will be donating 400 tickets to Red Sox home games in the month of May to the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign and to its Hope Lodge Center in the Jamaica plain neighborhood of Boston, a state-of-the-art facility that serves as a "home away from home" for patients and their caregivers traveling more than 40 miles to outpatient treatments.
