MarineMax Goes Pink With a Purpose to Support the American Cancer Society
OLDSMAR, FL (October 23, 2025)— For another year, MarineMax proudly partnered with the American Cancer Society to promote cancer screening awareness and support the fight for a cure.
-
On October 22, MarineMax team members across the country went #PinkWithAPurpose, wearing their best pink attire to increase awareness, focus on cancer screenings, and encourage those who haven’t been screened yet to do so. Research proves that early detection saves lives, and MarineMax remains deeply committed to the health and wellness of its team members and customers.
Beth Garland, Senior Vice President of People Strategy at MarineMax, shared, “We are honored to support this meaningful cause for another year. At MarineMax, the well-being of our team members is central to everything we do. Promoting a healthy lifestyle is a priority, and routine cancer screenings should be essential to that approach. Given the heightened sun exposure in the boating industry, the risk of skin cancers is even greater, making regular screenings all the more critical. As we proudly wore pink to raise breast cancer awareness, we encourage everyone to stay informed about all necessary cancer screenings and consult with their healthcare providers to explore options.”
Beth is a longstanding volunteer and currently serves on the Southwest Florida Area Board of Directors for the American Cancer Society Southeast Region.
According to the Breast Cancer Facts & Figures 2024–2025 report from the American Cancer Society, an estimated 310,720 people will be diagnosed with new cases of breast cancer in 2025, including 2,790 men. However, with early detection, lives can be saved.
This year, more than 70 MarineMax stores and partner companies, including Intrepid Powerboats, Cruisers Yachts, Northrop & Johnson, Fraser, IGY Marinas, Fairport, SYD, Newcoast, Boatzon, Boatyard, and SkipperBud’s, joined the #PinkWithAPurpose campaign. As part of their ongoing support, MarineMax donated $10,000 directly to the American Cancer Society and contributed a charter trip to the Tampa Cattle Baron’s Ball auction. All proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society’s mission to fund research, education, and patient and caregiver services.
Lindsey Langley-Liboreiro, Senior Executive Director, Tampa, comments, “MarineMax exemplifies what it means to lead with heart and purpose. Their commitment to raising awareness and promoting early detection continues to make a real difference in the fight against cancer. Partnerships like this bring hope, expand our reach, and directly impact lives through the research, support, and patient services made possible by the American Cancer Society.”
