Hi!
I do believe it would be a nice gesture for breast cancer support !
there was a US concrete company that did paint there mixer in pink a couple of years ago
apparently the business went up because of that .
it would also be a nice thieves deterent as well !!!

I drove this when it was brand new for a concrete company in NYC. It was before it's time for breast cancer awareness. Our manager was female and wanted to make the fleet recognizable. I think it did.

I've also seen a rental company who painted a Komatsu HM300 or 350 ADT pink and all the profits from the rental went to a foundation for breast cancer. Definitely a good idea! I couldn't tell you where they're from though, is it from Canada, US or UK, I can't remember.

There is a company in Northern Wisconsin that has had light pink equipment for at least the past 15 years, probably longer. Angelo Luppino Inc.

This mixer would come into a job of ours every once and a while for the concrete subs....  Not photoshopped, so I guess it doesn't really count here, huh?

Company in Chicago that painted a truck pink for breast cancer awareness was Prairie Material. They are normally green cabs with light gray barrels. Frames a stock factory black.
