When auto industry leadership meets relentless community advocacy, powerful progress happens. For more than a decade, Chevrolet has teamed up with the American Cancer Society (ACS) to advance breast cancer awareness, support patients undergoing treatment, and fund groundbreaking research. Through the Chevy Cares initiative, the iconic American brand has demonstrated that corporate responsibility can extend far beyond showroom floors, helping raise tens of millions of dollars to ensure no one faces a cancer diagnosis alone. Over $23 Million Raised for Lifesaving Care and Research The backbone of Chevrolet’s partnership with the American Cancer Society rests on tangible, long-term impact. Over the course of their collaboration, Chevrolet, together with its network of local dealerships, employees, and dedicated customers, has generated more than $23 million for the cause. These contributions directly fuel ACS programs that matter most to patients: funding medical research grants, improving access to vital early-detection screenings, and providing essential support services like transportation and lodging near treatment centers. Making Strides on the Track and in Local Communities One of the most visible elements of this partnership comes alive every October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. On NASCAR tracks across the country, Chevrolet fields a specially wrapped pink pace car—often a high-performance Camaro or Corvette—to lead the field. For every caution lap the pink pace car completes during designated Cup Series races, Chevy donates pledged dollars directly to the American Cancer Society. Beyond the racetrack, local Chevrolet dealerships nationwide host community walk teams, sponsor "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" events, and coordinate regional fundraisers that engage local neighborhoods directly in the fight. Digital Awareness: Driving Impact Through Social Engagement Chevrolet has also successfully leveraged social media to turn everyday online conversations into direct donations. Through campaigns utilizing hashtags like #IDriveFor and #WeDriveFor, the automaker pledges direct contributions to the ACS for every post shared by social media users detailing who they honor or support in their fight against breast cancer. This digital initiative gives voice to survivors, caregivers, and families, creating a shared space of support while unlocking critical corporate funding with every hashtag shared. Direct Patient Support: Access to Care When It Matters Most Crucially, the impact of this partnership goes far beyond fundraising totals and public campaigns—it directly touches the lives of individual patients navigating treatment. Funds raised through Chevrolet’s support help keep the American Cancer Society’s free 24/7 helpline running, connect patients with ride-share programs to get to chemotherapy appointments, and fund Hope Lodge facilities that provide free housing to families traveling for specialized care. By addressing the practical and emotional hurdles of a cancer diagnosis, Chevrolet helps remove barriers to care so patients can focus on what matters most: healing. A Lasting Legacy of Hope The partnership between Chevrolet and the American Cancer Society proves that sustained corporate commitment can drive meaningful societal change. By uniting race fans, dealership teams, social media communities, and patients under a single banner of support, Chevrolet continues to accelerate the journey toward a future free of breast cancer. Through every lap run and every dollar raised, the message remains clear: united, we are stronger than cancer.
Chevy's Updates to Trax and Trailblazer
Chevrolet is doubling down on its winning formula in the small SUV market with major enhancements for two of its best-selling models. As Chevy sales hit record highs—surpassing a quarter-million deliveries year-to-date for its entry-level crossover lineup—the brand is officially introducing refreshed versions of the 2027 Chevy Trax and 2027 Chevy Trailblazer. Designed to deliver superior value, striking looks, upgraded tech, and improved safety, these updated subcompact SUVs demonstrate why Chevrolet dominates the segment. Standard Safety Features and Next-Gen Driver Assistance Technology Safety takes center stage for the 2027 lineup, with Chevrolet making over 20 advanced driver assist features standard across both models thanks to upgraded electrical and software architecture. Drivers looking for reliable compact crossover safety will find significant peace of mind. New standard features include Reverse Automatic Braking, Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking, Safety Alert Seat, Side Bicyclist Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Front and Rear Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and a Rear Seat Belt Indicator. Whether navigating busy city streets or backing out of tight parking spaces, these standard Chevy safety technologies work together to protect passengers and pedestrians alike. Next-Level In-Cabin Tech Featuring Google Built-In and Gemini AI Technology inside the cabin gets a massive upgrade aimed at tech-savvy SUV buyers. Both the 2027 Chevrolet Trax and Trailblazer feature an updated user interface paired with a standard 11-inch-diagonal digital driver information center and a large 11.3-inch-diagonal touch screen infotainment system. For the first time, Google built-in integrated with Gemini AI comes standard, offering intuitive voice command capabilities and seamless navigation. Additionally, buyers receive 12 months of standard OnStar One, which brings connected car services including in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot capability and video streaming. This tech package turns every commute or road trip into an effortless connected experience. The Refreshed 2027 Chevy Trax: Sleeker Styling and Practical Upgrades As the subcompact SUV segment leader—accounting for one-fifth of all sales in its class—the Chevy Trax adopts a more premium aesthetic for 2027. The exterior sports a redesigned front grille, all-LED taillamps, a refreshed liftgate, and new wheel choices. The lineup streamlines into three distinct trims: the entry-level Trax (featuring high-contrast wheels for urban driving), the sporty Trax RS (riding on bold 19-inch wheels), and the rugged Trax ACTIV with its unique front fascia. Inside, the cabin features stylish hexagonal side air vents for a modern look. For added convenience, a power liftgate is available on the Trax for the very first time, making loading cargo easier than ever. Chevrolet also introduces Storm Sky Gray, a brand-new earthy interior shade available across the vehicle line. Adventure-Ready 2027 Chevy Trailblazer Introduces the All-New Z71 Trim The headline news for the 2027 Chevy Trailblazer is the debut of the iconic Z71 trim—marking Chevrolet’s first adventure-ready AWD subcompact crossover under the Z71 badge. Joining the entry-level Trailblazer and the sleek Trailblazer RS, the Z71 brings off-road utility to drivers who love outdoor exploration. Equipped with standard all-wheel drive (AWD), off-road-tuned suspension, underbody skid plates, and sport-terrain tires, the Trailblazer Z71 is built to handle dirt trails and harsh weather. Inside, the Z71 gets debossed front headrests alongside an exclusive Jet Black and Storm Sky Gray interior highlighted by vibrant Orange accents. Cabin flexibility in the 2027 Trailblazer gets a major functional boost thanks to a new column-mounted gear shifter. This change frees up space in the center console for redesigned storage options, including retractable cupholders. The update also allows for new rear-seat HVAC vents to keep back-seat passengers comfortable, while an available AutoSense power liftgate adds hands-free cargo convenience. Release Date and Dealer Availability Both the 2027 Chevrolet Trax and 2027 Chevrolet Trailblazer will be built using domestically and globally sourced parts. Dealership arrival is set for Spring 2027, giving budget-conscious SUV shoppers plenty to look forward to in Chevrolet's updated lineup.
