Toothman Ford raises breast cancer awareness and funds to benefit WVU’s Breast Care Center

JR of Toothman Ford with Barbara Menear of BPBCC.Toothman Ford in Grafton has finished another successful breast cancer awareness campaign that benefited the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center at the WVU Cancer Institute.  Using social media, the dealership raised $11,700 for the Breast Care Center in October by pledging $100 per vehicle sold that month and another $100 pledge for each participant in @ToothmanFord’s Buzz for the Cure campaign.  Participants were asked to get a buzz haircut and post a picture of themselves with their new hairdo on facebook.  Grafton High School’s soccer team was a major contributor to Buzz for the Cure.

“Toothman Ford was proud to once again participate in raising money and awareness about breast cancer,” said JR Toothman, dealership owner.  “This is a cause close to many of our own hearts and we are grateful to all our customers and everyone in Grafton and the surrounding community who joined us in supporting our campaign to help fight breast cancer.”

Since last year, Toothman Ford has now raised more than $22,000 to benefit the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center.
