Raise money for breast cancer education and research
USD 500 donated for each WiP Mustang sold
At this year's New York International Auto Show Ford will display the new Warriors in Pink edition of the 2009 Ford Mustang. The 2009 Ford Mustang WiP Edition is limited to 1,000 units. For each vehicle sold Ford will donate USD 500 to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, that's double what Ford donated from their 2008 Mustang WiP Edition. Over 14 years Ford has donated more than USD 95 million to breast cancer education and research and hopes to raise USD 1 million this year.
“Thanks to the tremendous response from our dealers and customers to the 2008 ‘Warriors in Pink’ Mustang, we knew we needed to continue offering the package, and we’re happy to be able to increase our support for the Cure at the same time,” said Connie Fontaine, Ford Experiential Marketing manager.
The 2009 Mustang Warriors in Pink package is available on the Mustang V6 Premium Coupe and Convertible. The package includes a new grille, pink ribbon and pony fender badge, pink striping and pink stitching on the charcoal leather seats and steering wheel. The charcoal floor mats have their own pink ribbons.
The 2009 Ford Mustang WiP will be available at dealerships nationwide this summer.

Ford Warriors in Pink
Launched in 2006, the Ford Warriors in Pink campaign recognizes the strength and courage it takes to deal with the everyday challenges of fighting breast cancer.
Ford’s goal in 2008 is to donate more than $1 million for the Cure through these sales of the special Mustangs, Warriors in Pink apparel and other fundraising efforts.
The Warriors in Pink apparel collection for men and women feature important symbols signifying the message of hope, strength and unity in the commitment to the fight against breast cancer. All apparel is available on www.fordcares.com, and 100 percent of net proceeds are donated to Komen for the Cure.
The limited-edition 2009 Mustang with Warriors in Pink will be available through Ford dealers this summer.
