Pink with a Purpose: MarineMax partners with American Cancer Society to promote cancer screening awareness

MarineMax partnered with the American Cancer Society and encouraged its employees to participate in the #PinkWithAPurpose initiative, in October

On October 10 and 23, employees wore pink as part of the #PinkWithAPurpose campaign, which encourages individuals to get screened for cancer. Beth Garland, senior vice president of people strategy at MarineMax, emphasized the importance of routine screenings, particularly due to the increased risk of skin cancers in the boating industry.

According to the American Cancer Society’s Breast Cancer Fact & Figures 2024-2025 report, an estimated 310,720 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, including 2,790 men.

Over 75 MarineMax stores and partners participated in the campaign, resulting in a $10,000 donation to the American Cancer Society. MarineMax also supported the annual Tampa Cattle Baron’s Ball by donating a charter trip for auction, with all proceeds benefiting the organization’s research and support services.
