FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.,
Oct. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE: AN), America's largest automotive
retailer, announced that Mike
Jackson, Chairman, CEO and President of AutoNation, and

of Fort Lauderdale have united in recognition of Breast
Cancer Awareness Month, by unveiling a giant pink ribbon statue
that will remain on Fort Lauderdale Beach throughout the month of
October.
Through its Drive Pink Initiative, AutoNation has raised more
than $11 Million to fund cancer
related charities. When the initiative first launched in 2015, Mr.

relationship a step further, by partnering with the City of Fort Lauderdale Fire Department to
provide "Real Heroes Drive Pink' Shirts" to all first responders.
And this year, the giant ribbon will stand as a visual reminder of
the importance of raising awareness and funding for the cause.
