Real Men Wear Pink / Randy Miller

Randy is the President of Newcastle Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Viper. This is his 5th consecutive year as a Real Men Wear Pink ambassador. He is the top overall RMWP fundraiser in the state of Maine who consistently far exceeds the initial goal of $2,500. Last year he raised $15,002! He is our defending ‘Top Real Men Wear Pink’ and is in the hunt for the title again this year.

In 2019, Randy was presented with the Sandra Labaree Award. Each year, the local area American Cancer Society Board selects the most inspired and passionate individuals to receive this prestigious honor whose service best exemplifies the Society’s organizational values of mission, stewardship, diversity, data-driven, and respect.

Real Men Wear Pink is raising awareness and funds to support the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer by committing to raising at least $2,500 each and wearing pink every day in October. The campaign is designed to engage more male community leaders and influencers in the Society’s mission to eliminate breast cancer, which according to the latest American Cancer Society estimates, 1,370 women in Maine are expected to be newly diagnosed with and 180 are anticipated to die from this year.
