Last week I learned about a program that BMW hosts called the BMW Ultimate Drive benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This is the 12th year for the event, and it takes place this week in our area. The cars travel around the country throughout the year, so check the site to see when they will be in your city.

Here’s a summary of the program:

Join us for our 12th year in the battle against breast cancer with our partner, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Just get behind the wheel of a new vehicle of your choice in the BMW Ultimate Drive® supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure event. As a participant, you’ll find plenty of BMW models to test drive, such as the thrilling 3 Series Coupe, the sporty X3 SAV® and this year’s Signature Vehicle, the new and dynamic X6. For every mile you drive BMW will donate $1 on your behalf to Komen. Since the program’s inception in 1997, the event has raised over $11 million dollars for breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment programs. In 2008 you can continue to make a difference by taking a test drive to help us reach our goal: donating a grand total of $12 million.

Pretty cool, huh? It is taking place in Dallas (at Classic BMW in Plano) on Wednesday, April 23 from 10:00 AM until 5:30 PM. Walk-ins are welcome, but you can also call to make a reservation:

Nikki and I are talking about going over on lunch or after work to show our support. It should be fun, so be sure to come back and check out our pictures!
