— BMW of Chattanooga, in cooperation with the Chattanooga Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is proud to announce that the 12th Annual BMW Ultimate Drive Program is scheduled to drive through Chattanooga from 9:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Friday, March 28 at BMW of Chattanooga at 6806 E. Brainerd Road.
The BMW Ultimate Drive is a national breast health outreach campaign, where participants are invited to test-drive a new BMW. Each test-mile driven will generate a $1 contribution to Komen. BMW’s goal this year is to log 1 million miles – and raise $1 million for Susan G. Komen for the Cure to support research, education, screening and treatment programs.
In addition to the test-drive program, we will be honoring a local breast cancer hero, Keele Maynor during a special ceremony at 12:00 p.m.
NEW! This year, we will be kicking off the BMW Ultimate Drive with a survivor drive around Chattanooga on Thursday, March 27 at 3 p.m. The caravan of specially decorated BMWs, driven by local breast cancer survivors, including five past and present Ultimate Drive local heroes, will travel a special route to generate awareness for the event.
With 25 high performance BMWs available for test drive, there is an opportunity for many supporters to turn out to help support the fundraising campaign and to experience the thrill associated with being behind the wheel of a brand new BMW.
Interested participants may call 1-877-4-A-Drive or go to www.bmwusa.com to register for a time to test-drive an Ultimate Drive BMW.
