In 2011, Leigh Anne Best and fellow shop owner Laura Frank began the “Brakes for Breasts” fundraiser with 5 local auto shops in Ohio. In 2012, they expanded “Brakes for Breasts” to 27 shops across 17 states, raising a total of $66,499 for breast cancer research! By 2013, the Brakes for Breasts annual campaign was growing like wildfire, with 66 shops on board across 27 states. Now last year in 2014 there were 142 shops across 29 states that raised collectively $115,236 giving the last four years a total 100% donation to Dr. Tuohy of $224,583 to fund research on a breast cancer vaccine!
