LOS ANGELES, July 19, 2010 — NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, driver of the No. 16 3M Ford, has joined in the fight against cancer through a matching donation campaign to support City of Hope, one of the nation’s leading cancer research and treatment centers. Post-it® Brand of3M will match every donation dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000 to benefit City of Hope. 3M’s program takes place through August 31.

In its three-year history, the 3M matching gift program has raised nearly $2 million to benefit City of Hope’s cancer research, treatment and education programs.
“I believe in the importance of everyone coming together to help speed the way to a cure for cancer and other life-threatening diseases,” Biffle said. “My goal is to raise greater awareness and support within the racing community about the importance of lifesaving cancer research being done at City of Hope.”
“We’re proud to support a leading organization that is speeding the way to a cure,” said Bill Smith, vice president and general manager at 3M. “Our hope is to give the tools necessary for researchers to discover new and improved therapies so that patients can benefit from the tremendous lifesaving work and comprehensive care at City of Hope.”
