Volkswagen Donating Pink Beetle to Raise Money for Cancer Research

Back in 2011, former E! News Anchor, Giuliana Rancic battled breast cancer. Today she stands as a breast cancer survivor and has founded FAB-U-WISH.

FAB-U-WISH is a program that provides wishes to women who are undergoing treatment for breast cancer. The program has partnered with the Pink Agenda, a nonprofit that raises money for breast cancer research.

Volkswagen is helping the cause by donating the very first 2017 Volkswagen Pink Beetle to an auction that will raise money for breast cancer research. The winning bidder will be the very first Volkswagen Pink Beetle driver, meet Giuliana and be invited to attend the Pink Agenda's Annual gala.

According to Volkswagen Newsroom, when Giuliana was asked what she hopes can be accomplished with the Volkswagen Pink Beetle she responded, "Funds raised through the #PinkBeetle auction will help us grant more wishes and fund research needed for our greatest wish – finding a breast cancer cure."
