Community Involvement

Serving the Louisville area since 1893, Yellow Cab has put down deep roots in the community. We support and partnering with the following local charities:

'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."

Summerbridge

Yellow  Cab sponsors "Career Day" rides for the Summerbridge Summer Program.  Summerbridge is a summer program that offers the core content areas of reading, math, writing and special events such as "Career Day" throughout the summer.

We transported the Summerbridge kids throughout the city (Louisville Zoo, Middletown Medical Clinic, Eclipse Bank, etc..)  safely to their Career Day.

We would like to thank the cab drivers that assisted with these rides: William Stine, Sidi Meimed, Adhess Yakob, Cordelro Backham, Abdimajid Hassen, Dino Didic, Bill Gessell and Bob Ethier.
