AutoNation Inc. and the Orlando Sports Foundation presented a $3.3 million check to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation at the AutoNation Cure Bowl on Dec. 16. The donation represents the AutoNation Cure Bowl's three-year cumulative contribution to the foundation.

During halftime at the Cure Bowl, 15 cancer survivors brought a 20-foot AutoNation Drive Pink quilt to the field. More than 200 AutoNation associates helped create the quilt, and each square was designed to honor someone affected by cancer.
