Breast cancer help in the Hudson Valley

The pink Bottini truck raises money in Dutchess and Orange Co. NY for Hudson Valley breast cancer patients

Hudson Valley Life just featured an op-ed from Pari Forood, executive director of the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation, which helps breast cancer patients in the Hudson Valley.

The foundation is now receiving help from another local company. The Bottini Fuel Pink Truck  benefitting the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation hit the road this week delivering fuel throughout Dutchess and Orange Counties. Bottini Fuel will donate one cent from every gallon sold, to Miles of Hope plus if a new customer signs up because of the pink truck or breast cancer support, Bottini will donate $50 to Miles of Hope as well.

“When Bottini came to us with this idea, we were thrilled,” said  Forood.

“It is an innovative way for businesses to help not only their employees and their families affected by breast cancer but also to show the community that they have a stake in the overall quality of life in the Hudson Valley.”

Rick Bottini contacted Miles of Hope when he was told that members of Bottini’s work force were closely associated with the disease. “We wanted to do something to show our work family and our customers that we recognize the importance of breast cancer support and Miles of Hope,” he said. “Many of our employees already volunteer for Miles of Hope, so it was a perfect fit for us.”

Miles of Hope is a 501-c-3, public charity based in LaGrangeville, NY. The Foundation serves the eight counties of the Hudson Valley by funding support services for people affected by breast cancer in the Hudson Valley.
