Danica unveiled the beautiful pink GoDaddy machine on Tuesday morning, as well as announcing GoDaddy is teaming with the Public Interest Registry to donate $50,000 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. A portion of Danica’s merchandise proceeds will go to the foundation as well.

“I’ve been told real men wear pink, so I am all for it,” said Hinchcliffe, who like Danica is wearing pink GoDaddy sneakers today as a visible sign of solidarity. “But seriously, it’s a great opportunity to support a fantastic cause and I’m really happy GoDaddy invited us to be a part of their campaign. They have been tremendous supporters of breast cancer research in the past. It’s great to see GoDaddy keep this effort going and for us to help out in our little way.”
GoDaddy CEO, Blake Irving, is one of many people who’s family has had an encounter with breast cancer. Irving’s mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently the longest-living survivor of breast cancer in New Mexico.
“My mom is an amazing woman, who not only is surviving breast cancer, but is thriving … living an active lifestyle and giving a lot of inspiration to the people she meets,” Irving said. “Our commitment to the cause right now at GoDaddy is to stand up and do our part financially, but also to inspire more people to join the fight against breast cancer.”
