CarMax Associates really do make a difference. With help from the CarMax Foundation, we'll continue to support our mission and your community.
Feature story
Chicago stores take steps to fight cancer
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a national fundraising walk sponsored annually by the American Cancer Society. The money raised funds breast cancer research, education, advocacy, and provides free programming in several communities.
Fundraising walks, like Making Strides, are popular team builders for CarMax because they connect Associates, their families, and friends to a good cause.
On October 21, 2007, nearly 250 walkers in "CarMax Cares" tee shirts convened to represent six Chicago CarMax stores in the walk. Personal donations, matching gifts, and a grant from the CarMax Foundation contributed to the total $900,000 raised in Chicago.
You, too, can get involved.
