Once again, you’re going the distance to help find a cure

The road to finding a cure for breast cancer is long. However, since 1997, BMW has been sharing the journey with more than half a million enthusiastic participants in the BMW Ultimate Drive® supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

This year, from the February 13 kickoff gala in Coconut Creek, FL until the December 13 wrap-up party in Spartanburg, SC, a caravan of specially designed BMWs is circling the U.S. in its goal of visiting 208 BMW centers and generating one million test drive miles. Spending one day at each location, the BMW Ultimate Drive gives everyday people a chance to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. For every mile they drive, BMW donates $1 to Komen for the Cure for breast cancer research, education and more.

By the end of the 10 months, participants will have driven a grand total of 12 million miles, and BMW will have donated a grand total of more than $12 million. BMW also donates 80 percent of the gross profits from every item purchased from the BMW Pink Ribbon Collection, adding to the total contribution.
