Mekonomen’s pink vehicle in the battle against breast cancer
04 October 2010 14:00
Mekonomen is the new main sponsor for the Cancer Fund’s Pink Ribbon Campaign. With the “Dare to Ask” theme, SEK 1 for each question to Mekonomen Direkt and SEK 200 for each implemented Pink service will be donated to the Pink Ribbon Campaign in October. Customers will find numerous pink vehicle products and services in Mekonomen’s stores and workshops, from pink steering-wheel covers, windscreen washer fluids, snow brushes and sheepskin blankets to pink service. This is all aimed at benefiting the battle against breast cancer.
“For us at Mekonomen, it is important to highlight and contribute to the battle against breast cancer, which affects 7,000 women in Sweden each year. It is also a disease that has a strong impact on other family members and relatives. In our current male-dominated industry, we want to demonstrate that the battle against breast cancer concerns everyone, women and men,” says Håkan Lundstedt, President and CEO of Mekonomen.
SEK 1 per question and SEK 200 for each pink service
Sometimes, it may be difficult to dare to ask certain questions, and you just have to challenge yourself. Consequently, Mekonomen has chosen to connect its commitment in the Pink Ribbon Campaign to a “Dare to Ask” theme. For each question that is received by Mekonomen Direkt, SEK 1 and SEK 200 per implemented pink service will be donated to the Pink Ribbon Campaign during October.
“The questions received by Mekonomen Direkt pertaining to breast cancer will be referred to the Cancer Fund’s information and support line, where there are experts. However, we hope that those who usually have difficulty in asking questions about car parts and service, an area that is possibly problematic, will challenge themselves and dare to ask us,” says Håkan Lundstedt.
Pink product range throughout October
Mekonomen will offer a specially-compiled pink range of products to benefit the Pink Ribbon Campaign. During October, you will be able to purchase steering-wheel covers, sheepskin blankets, windscreen wiper fluids and snow brushes, and much more.
