Southampton, NY October 1, 2010 – Hampton Jitney in partnership with Vector Media, Southampton Hospital and The American Cancer Society is bringing breast cancer awareness to our local communities by wrapping one of their coaches Pink.  The special pink coach will provide daily service to and from Manhattan and the East End of Long Island. Passengers that ride on the pink coach will have the ability to make a donation to the American Cancer Society in their efforts to raise awareness and find a cure for this disease.

“Our coaches are seen by thousands everyday and by wrapping our coach in pink with this message we are helping raise awareness about this disease and a local resource at Southampton Hospital” says President Geoffrey Lynch.

Hampton Jitney is raising money by offering passengers the opportunity to add $1, $5, or $10 to their fares on all trips, 100% of the money raised will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
