ORR BMW Sponsors An Event Offering Individuals The Chance To Help Fight Breast Cancer

By Bianya Tennerson

For The Past 13 Years Orr Bmw Has Sponsored An Event Offering Individuals The Chance To Help Fight Breast Cancer Without Opening Their Checkbooks But By Simply Allowing Them The Opportunity To Test Drive One Of Their Vehicles.
Tim Robbins, Orr Bmw General Manager Said, " We've Got A New One Series, Which Everyone Is Wanting To Drive And Most Dealers Don't Have On Their Lots. We've Got Those Here For People To Drive, All The Way Up To Our B7 Which Is Like $125,000 Car, So It's A Fun Deal.
For Every Mile Driven A Dollar Is Donated To The Susan G. Komen Foundation, And With These Kinds Of Cars, How Could Anyone Resist Taking One For A Test Drive?
But It's Not All Fun And Games Especially For A Third Generation, Six Year Breast Cancer Survivor Like Diane. She Says She Has A Lot More Invested Then A Fun Spin On Some New Wheels.
Diane Fuhrman Said, " I'm Here To Help Myself And All Of The Other Individuals Who Are In My Position, Hoping That Someday You Don't Have To Live With, 'What If It Comes Back'. We Want To Cure This Thing."
Acquanetta Leduff, Who Test Drove A Car Said, "Breast Cancer Effects So Many Women. I've Had Relatives Who Have Had That So This Is A Good Thing."
And In Just The Short Trip I Took Along The Designated Route. About Fourty Dollars Will Be Donated. Thursday Was The Last Day For The Event In Shreveport, But They'll Be Making Their Rounds And Rolling In To Several Other Cities Like New Orleans, Austin And Vegas In The Upcoming Weeks.
