Pronto Network Supports Breast Cancer Vaccine Research through 'Brakes for Breasts' Fundraiser

The Pronto Network is actively participating in the 2026 'Brakes for Breasts' fundraising campaign, aligning with independent auto repair establishments across the United States to advance breast cancer vaccine research. Throughout the month of October, this industry-wide effort will channel resources towards the Cleveland Clinic Breast Cancer Vaccine Research Fund, specifically benefiting The Dr. Tuohy Lab's groundbreaking work.

As part of this initiative, customers at participating Pronto Network Service Centers will receive complimentary brake pads or shoes. They will only be responsible for the cost of labor and any supplementary components required for the brake service. Subsequently, 10% of the revenue generated from these brake jobs will be directly contributed to the Cleveland Clinic's research fund. The Pronto Network has also committed to matching the donations made by its service centers, further amplifying the impact of this philanthropic endeavor. Manufacturers such as Bendix, Bosch, DuraGo, NewTek, PowerStop, ProMax, and Wagner are also sponsoring this vital fundraiser.

The research supported by 'Brakes for Breasts' is making significant strides at The Dr. Tuohy Lab. Their pioneering breast cancer vaccine has demonstrated efficacy in animal studies, and Phase 1 clinical trials were successfully concluded in 2026. The lab is now diligently preparing for the launch of Phase 2 trials in 2027, marking a crucial step forward in the development of a potential breast cancer vaccine. This collective effort underscores the power of community engagement and corporate social responsibility in the fight against a pervasive disease.

This campaign exemplifies the positive impact that collaborative efforts between businesses and research institutions can achieve. By uniting the automotive industry for a common, benevolent goal, The Pronto Network and its partners are not only contributing financially but also raising awareness for a critical area of medical research. Such initiatives highlight the profound potential of collective action to drive innovation and bring hope for a healthier future.
