Brakes for Breasts 2025: Fighting Breast Cancer One Brake Job at a Time

October 1, 2025

Breast cancer continues to affect hundreds of thousands of families every year, and the need for prevention-focused research has never been more urgent. That’s why Rad Air Complete Car Care is proud to once again participate in the national Brakes for Breasts campaign—a powerful initiative uniting independent auto repair shops to help end breast cancer for good.

Now in its 15th year, Brakes for Breasts offers a simple, impactful way for drivers to support breast cancer research during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October—while also staying safe on the road.

What is Brakes for Breasts?

Brakes for Breasts is a nationwide charitable initiative that gives back during the month of October by offering free brake pads to customers while donating a portion of brake service proceeds to breast cancer vaccine research.

Here’s how it works:

  • Free Brake Pads: Customers receive professional brake pad replacement at no cost (they only pay for labor and any additional parts required).
  • 10% Donated: Participating shops donate 10% of the total brake repair invoice to the Breast Cancer Vaccine Fund, which supports a vaccine being developed by Dr. Vincent Tuohy and his team at the Cleveland Clinic.

The Research Behind the Cause

The Breast Cancer Vaccine Fund directly supports the work of Dr. Vincent Tuohy, whose groundbreaking research is focused on preventing breast cancer before it ever develops. This approach shifts the focus from treatment to prevention—a game-changing effort in the fight against a disease that impacts so many lives.

Dr. Tuohy’s work represents hope for a future in which women and men can receive a vaccine to protect against the most common types of breast cancer—before they ever become a threat.

Why This Campaign Matters in 2025

According to the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that in 2025, approximately:

  • 313,510 people will be newly diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S.
  • 42,050 individuals will lose their lives to the disease.

These numbers represent real families, real losses, and an ongoing need for research that doesn’t just treat cancer—but prevents it. Brakes for Breasts is about fueling that future.

This is more than an auto repair promotion. It’s a mission rooted in community, compassion, and the belief that together, we can stop breast cancer before it starts.
