TRAVERSE CITY, MI – October 3rd, 2018 – Omni United through its flagship brand Radar Tyres continues to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). Having completed seven years of their first of its kind in the industry partnership the corporate alliance has only been getting stronger with the company’s customers and external partners joining in over the years to support the cause.
Giving back to the society has been one of the key values that Omni United and Radar Tyres has been built on. The company has always believed in engaging with partners internally and externally to create value for the society.

This contribution has funded approx. 23,000 hours of some of the world’s most promising and innovative research towards preventing and curing breast cancer in our lifetime.
The seven-year journey of supporting BCRF’s cause has seen not just monetary donations but also sponsoring and undertaking of numerous initiatives and programs to spread awareness for this cause and to bring the work of BCRF to the forefront of society. Some of the initiatives include:
• Launching a limited edition “pink sidewall” Tyre, sold through a major Tyre distributor in the US
• Encouraging our customers, Tyre distributors, dealers and retailers throughout the world to support the “Mobilizing Hope” campaign by providing them with in-store displays, pink ribbons and other awareness materials to distribute among customers
