AutoNation Accelerates Pediatric Cancer Support Through DRV PNK

Transportation services provider launches cash register campaign benefiting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and gifts a passenger van to National Pediatric Cancer Foundation

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE: AN), a provider of personalized transportation services and an ardent supporter of cancer-related causes, today announced a new and impactful Drive Pink (DRV PNK) campaign focused on pediatric patients. In partnerships with Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals) and the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF), AutoNation is reinforcing its commitment to cancer patients and expanding the reach of DRV PNK, AutoNation's signature philanthropic effort that has contributed more than $40 million to cancer research, treatment and patient support nationwide.

Small Donations, Big Impact for CMN Hospitals
Together with CMN Hospitals, AutoNation has launched a nationwide cash register donation campaign across more than 300 stores and collision centers. Through October 16, 2025, Customers are invited to round up their payment or donate at checkout, with 100% of funds supporting pediatric cancer at local CMN Hospitals in each community. Proceeds stay in local AutoNation communities benefiting lifesaving treatments and critical care for children facing cancer diagnoses.

Vehicle Donation Sets NPCF's Mission in Motion
Along with the cash register campaign, AutoNation and AutoNation Finance, with the support of financial and legal institutions, have raised $70,000 to purchase a vehicle for the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, bringing its total support for the organization to more than $460,000 since 2021. The vehicle will service the NPCF's operational needs and reduce the organization's dependence on rental vehicles.

The donated passenger van, a brand-new 2025 Chrysler Pacifica Select, will take center stage at "Rally Funds the Cure" on Saturday, June 14 in Tampa, Florida. This car rally honors the 43 children diagnosed with cancer each day in the U.S. with a convoy of 43 vehicles, including the co-branded AutoNation/NPCF passenger van. During the rally, pediatric cancer warriors will ride in the vehicle along the route, giving them the unique opportunity to participate in the event firsthand. The vehicle will also serve as a mobile billboard to raise awareness of pediatric cancer.

"We're proud to stand with Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation, two life-changing organizations that make a difference each and every day for children and families facing cancer," said Mike Manley, Chief Executive Officer at AutoNation. "These initiatives capture the true spirit of DRV PNK, uniting our Associates, Customers, partners and communities in driving out cancer and delivering a meaningful difference where it's needed most."

These initiatives highlight AutoNation's holistic approach to community impact, providing not only financial support but also practical assistance to partners dedicated to fighting pediatric cancer. AutoNation's commitment extends beyond financial donations. Associates also are involved, volunteering their time to assist partner nonprofits and hospitals.
