The two pink trucks in Revere’s fleet promote breast cancer awareness.  We have partnered with the American Breast Cancer Foundation (ABCF) in this effort and donate to the ABCF a portion of the money derived from every gallon delivered by the trucks.

Revere Gas president Charles Revere said, "These trucks draw attention to a very serious disease that if detected early, is very survivable.  The ABCF not only focuses attention on this disease but provides financial assistance to eligible women and men of all ages for cancer testing.  We’re proud to be a partner with the ABCF.”

Both pink trucks travel throughout all of Revere’s six operating districts in eastern Virginia. Some facts about breast cancer:

- A woman dies of breast cancer every 12 minutes
- Breast cancer is the leading cause of death for women aged 25 to 50
- 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime
- It is the leading cause of cancer deaths among African American women
- Women of low socioeconomic status are more likely to be
  diagnosed with late stage disease and die of the disease
- Men also contract breast cancer.  In 2007, over 2000 cases
  of breast cancer were diagnosed in males in the U.S.
