Crush for a Cure 2018

October 5th, 2018 by

Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is proud to sponsor Crush for a Cure for a sixth consecutive year at the Arkansas State Fair! Spending time at the fair playing games and eating fried foods on a stick is a fall tradition here in Central Arkansas and we want to add raising money for cancer research to that list. This event gives fairgoers a chance to help us make a difference in our own community.

Crush for a Cure is your chance to relieve some stress too! For $1 per hit, you can swing our pink sledgehammer and smash the crush car, all in the name of cancer research.

Over the last five years, Crush for a Cure has raised more than $30,000.

We will match the money raised at the fair and award a check to the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute at UAMS here in Little Rock. The cancer institute is doing some great things in the name of cancer research and we’re excited to make yet another a donation.

Crush for a Cure kicks off at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 11.

Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram General Manager Ivan Figueroa will take the first swing. We’ll be streaming the kick-off live on Facebook, and we hope you’ll join us or watch the video later!

Crush for a Cure will take place Oct. 11-21 all throughout the fair. The booth will be open for crushing from 3-7 p.m. every weekday and from 1-7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Stop by our booth near the Landers Main Stage while you’re at the fair! If you’d like more information, or to make a donation yourself, stop by and chat with us at the booth or give us a call.

We can’t wait to see you at the fair and hand you the pink sledgehammer!
