Tune Up for Breast Cancer Awareness in Shepherdstown
Fight breast cancer and upgrade your brakes while you're at it
The Spirit of Jefferson | Friday, October 24, 2025
Throughout October, the Brakes for Breasts program invites residents from towns like Charles Town and Harpers Ferry to support breast cancer awareness while ensuring vehicle safety. Local business Brown’s Tire, Towing & Auto Care Center, owned by Maria and Ron Brown, has dedicated six years to this initiative that donates a portion of proceeds to breast cancer research. Maria's personal experience with cancer, losing her best friend at a young age, fuels their commitment to this cause, making it a significant local effort featured by The Spirit of Jefferson.
