EARLY TIMES MINT JULEP PARTNERS WITH YELLOW CAB TO OFFER OVER 1,000 SAFE RIDES DURING KENTUCKY DERBY® WEEK

We are teaming up with Early Times Mint Julep, the Official Drink of the Kentucky Derby to offer over 1,000 vouchers for safe rides at select locations in Louisville during Kentucky Derby week in an effort to encourage people to plan ahead to keep drunk drivers off the roads.

In partnership with Early Times Mint Julep, we will be present at nine locations from April 29 to May 1 with a specially-designed Kentucky Derby themed taxi featuring Early Times Mint Julep insignia. Patrons will sign the taxi as their personal pledge to drink responsibly, and each person who pledges will receive a taxi voucher valued at $15 which patrons can redeem toward their safe ride home with Yellow Cab, courtesy of Early Times Mint Julep. In celebration of Kentucky Derby 139, there will be 139 taxi vouchers offered at three locations on each date:

• Monday April 29, 6-8pm - St. Matthews (Tin Roof, Drake's, 60 West)
• Tuesday April 30, 6-8pm - Highlands (O'Sheas, Molly Malone's, Baxter's 942)
• Wednesday May 1, 9-11pm - Fourth Street Live! (Sports and Social Club, Sully's, Marquee Bar)

Each voucher is valid for $15 and may be used with Yellow Cab as well as sister companies Checker Cab and Cardinal Cab. All vouchers are for use during Kentucky Derby week only (can be redeemed for Oaks & Derby runs) and must be redeemed by midnight on Sunday, May 5, 2013.

"The partnership with Early Times Mint Julep encourages our community to enjoy their Kentucky Derby celebrations and get home safely," said Rob Frederick, director of corporate responsibility for Brown-Forman, parent company of Early Times Mint Julep. "This exciting week brings friends and family together, and there's no better way to enrich the Kentucky Derby experience than with a safe ride home."

'Pink Ride' comes to Louisville: Yellow Cab of Louisville 'Goes Pink' For Breast Cancer Awareness

(Louisville, Kentucky)-Take a stand against breast cancer simply by sitting in a cab.  Designated cabs operated by Yellow Cab of Louisville will participate in the "TLPA Pink Ride to benefit the American Cancer Society"

For the entire month of October, Yellow Cab of Louisville has painted five of its cabs in a pink color, and will contribute $100 each week per designated "pink" cabs to the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer program to help raise awareness and funds to fight breast cancer.

There is no additional cost to passengers, and drivers are not allowed to accept donations. However, passengers can make a $10 donation directly to the American Cancer Society.  The passenger will simply text PINK to 41518, to have a donation of $10.00 added to the passenger's next cell phone bill, or passengers may also make secure, online donations with a credit card a special web site created by the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org/pinkride.

The effort is part of the second annual international TLPA Pink Ride to benefit the American Cancer Society Spearheaded by the Taxicab, Limousine, & Paratransit Association (TLPA) a global association of for-hire vehicle fleet owners representing more than 1,100 companies.

"Every time a passenger rides in our pink cabs, from October 1 thru October 31, they'll know they are riding in a vehicle that is helping to raise funds and awareness in the fight against breast cancer," Cab General Manager Jonathan Brown says.

"We all know someone that has been affected by breast cancer," Brown says. "I hope that people see these pink cabs and are spurred on to do something on their own, whether that be doing their own fundraiser, helping out a friend with breast cancer, or maybe even just making sure they or a loved one get themselves screened."
