Vortex Racing launches Third Annual PINK Campaign to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – September 25, 2014 – Vortex Racing, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of motorcycle racing components, announced today that it has launched its Third 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.
This is Vortex’s third year launching its PINK Campaign. 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). This year, Vortex has 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 they love. 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.
The Vortex PINK Campaign officially launches on Oct. 1 annually. However, this year, due to the high demand for pink sprockets from previous years, Vortex has already begun taking pre-orders for the PINK Campaign CAT 5 Sprocket, which will ship on October 1. The pink V3 Street Grips are already available for purchase. 25% of net retail sales from these products will be donated to the American Cancer Society once the PINK Campaign has ended for the year.
Anyone interested in pre-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.
