Vortex Racing launches Fourth Annual PINK Campaign to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – OCTOBER 2, 2015 – Vortex Racing, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of motorcycle racing components, announced today that it has launched the Fourth Annual Vortex PINK Campaign to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research. Generally, the last thing anyone thinks about when they think of breast cancer is motorcycle parts, which is why Vortex uses the unique platform on which it stands to bring awareness in unexpected ways: pink motorcycle sprockets and grips.

Annually, Vortex makes a pink version of their CAT 5 Sprocket and donates 25% of net retail sales of the pink sprocket to the American Cancer Society earmarked for its breast cancer programs (image attached). Last year, Vortex added its pink V3 Street Grips for street bikes to its PINK product offering and will also donate 25% of net retail sales of this product to the same.

“We feel that the bright pink parts really give survivors, family and friends of those who have been touched by breast cancer a really interesting way to show their support for an organization and a cause that’s close to their hearts. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been affected by this terrible disease and we want to do our part to raise awareness within our industry,” says Matt Griffin, president of Vortex.

Vortex will announce in a later press release who will be running the PINK CAT5 Sprocket during the month of October, with several running the fundraising sprocket at the 2015 Monster Energy Cup.

Anyone interested in ordering a PINK Campaign CAT 5 Sprocket may do so by calling 800-440-3559 during regular business hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Time. The pink V3 Street Grips are available for purchase online at www.vortexracing.com or by phone order at the same number.

ABOUT VORTEX RACING: Vortex Racing was founded in 1995 by Matt Griffin, a recent college graduate with little to his name other than the contents of his car and the drive to succeed. With ingenuity, street smarts and sheer grit, Griffin took his business from a little-known sprocket company in Odessa, Florida to an international brand based in Salt Lake City, Utah producing a full range of race components for both street and dirt motorcycles. Today, Vortex Racing is synonymous with speed and brilliant engineering having sponsored some of the world’s winningest racers including James “Bubba” Stewart, Josh Hayes, Martin Cardenas, Ryan Dungey, Ronnie Renner and many more.
