Growth Energy , E15 retailers raise more than $ 40,000 to combat breast cancer
The ethanol industry is making a difference every day , but Growth Energy took it a step further during Breast Cancer Awareness month last October by partnering with major fuel retailers Sheetz , Minnoco , Protec Fuel , and Murphy USA for its annual Pink Out program to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer . For each gallon of clean-burning E15 ( gasoline with 15 percent ethanol ) sold , 2 cents were donated to an organization fighting to eliminate breast cancer or help families affected by the disease .
“ We are thrilled to have such incredible partners with whom we were able to donate more than $ 40,000 to deserving organizations working to find a cure for breast cancer and help those affected by it ,” said Emily Skor , CEO of Growth Energy . “ The ethanol industry is proud to help in the fight against cancer by replacing toxic carcinogens that were previously blended in gasoline .”
