WASHINGTON -- Growth Energy is partnering with four major fuel retailers for its annual Pink Out program to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer during the month of October.
For each gallon of clean-burning E15 sold at participating Sheetz, Altoona, Pa.; Minnoco, Little Canada, Minn.; Protec, Boca Raton, Fla.; and Murphy USA, El Dorado, Ark., locations, 2 cents will be donated to an organization fighting to eliminate breast cancer.
“We are proud to work with such great partners to bring awareness to breast cancer research and support wonderful organizations working to eradicate this terrible disease,” said Emily Skor, CEO of Growth Energy, Washington, D.C. “Ethanol has replaced toxic, carcinogenic chemicals that were previously blended in gasoline, so ethanol has already helped in the fight against cancer in tangible ways.”
The Pink Out program will run through October at participating stations, with more than 720 dispensers included in the program in North Carolina, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Arkansas and Florida. Drivers who want to participate in this program should look for the pink nozzle handles and signage, and can find the nearest E15 station at getethanol.com.
E15 contains 5% more ethanol than regular gasoline and is approved for any car manufactured in the 21st century.
Washington, D.C.-based Growth Energy represents producers and supporters of ethanol working to bring consumers better choices at the fuel pump, grow America’s economy and improve the environment for future generations.
