VP Raises Funds For Cancer Research

VP Racing Fuels, Inc. is working to help prevent cancer through its annual “Pink Jug” campaign. In 2019 there was an increase of over 30% in donations to the Prevent Cancer Foundation (PCF).

“At VP, we know a thing or two about research and development,” says Alan Cerwick, VP President & CEO. “We strive every day to fuel people’s passions, but the very dedicated group at the Prevent Cancer Foundation have a much more serious mission; and we hope that this ongoing campaign can help fund research grants, make a difference and a brighter future for all of us.”

VP Racing Fuels makes annual contributions to PCF through the sale of VP’s popular pink jugs. In addition, in October, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, VP doubles the contribution from each pink jug sold. VP’s distributors and dealers also get involved in their local markets to raise even more awareness for cancer research.

PCF invests in cutting-edge research, education, community outreach and advocacy nationwide. Their efforts include

  • cancer research grants and fellowships
  • providing breast and cervical cancer education and screenings
  • hosting events to educate the public and primary health care providers about the link between certain viruses and preventable cancers
