Ozinga Donates Proceeds from Pink Ready Mix Truck to Local Breast Cancer Charities

September 27, 2022 (Mokena, IL)—Throughout the month of October, proceeds from Ozinga’s pink-and-white striped ready mix truck will support various efforts to aid those affected by breast cancer, including American Cancer Society and The Cancer Support Center in Mokena.

The truck will also be on display at three American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks: October 2 in Wheaton, IL; October 9 in Orland Park, IL; and October 16 in Crown Point, IN.

“Ozinga’s purpose is to make a positive impact on individuals, their families and the community for generations,” said Justin Ozinga, President. “While raising awareness is important, we knew there was more we could do for those who have been impacted by the disease. Supporting these two organizations is one small way we can use the truck to make a positive impact.”

Ozinga painted one of its concrete mixers pink and white back in May 2022. The idea to transform the truck came from Alivia Ozinga, who is daughter to Justin Ozinga.

The Ozinga family has been personally affected by breast cancer. Justin Ozinga’s grandmother passed away from the disease, and co-owner Jeff Ozinga’s mother passed away from it as well.

The pink ready mix truck, which is a 2015 Kenworth W900B, runs on compressed natural gas and was given truck number 0001 as a testament to the 1 in 8 individuals who are diagnosed with breast cancer. It currently operates in the company’s Chicago region.

Ozinga’s traditional red-and-white-striped concrete mixers can be found throughout Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and South Florida.
