So I started handing out Susan G Komen pamphlets at shows Bumpin' for Breast Cancerwith my husband, but this just wasn鈥檛 enough for me. I wanted to do more.鈥

Christina contacted the folks of T3 AUDIO and asked if they could special design some pink subwoofers for her white 2002 Chevy Tahoe. 鈥淚 wanted to put together a build in my Tahoe in memory of my mother and losing her to Breast Cancer. I was going to name this build 鈥淏umpin for Breast Cancer,鈥 said Biodrowski. 鈥淚 received an email back shortly from T3鈥檚 Ed Lester & Jonathan Demuth who offered me an opportunity I could not pass up. I was offered a sponsorship of two T3 T1000 12鈥 pink subwoofers and any door speakers needed. Who wouldn鈥檛 agree to that! Obviously I said yes.鈥 Other factories that joined in the build were Cadence Audio, Stinger, Kinetik, Compustar, Hush Mat, Lomas Glass and Tint, Napa, Car Crafters, Taylor Marine, Stock Building Supply. Installation was performed by Bryan Piper at Innovative Audio and Styling in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The band had just finished the release of a new single titled 鈥淏rightest Star.鈥 The music became the theme song for the SUSAN G KOMEN Foundation (L.A. District). 鈥淚 contacted my Aussie mates to see if they could help Christina get some national media exposure. I wanted to do a partial pink vinyl wrap on Christina鈥檚 vehicle promoting the band and the song. This way Christina鈥檚 hard work would be seen by over 13,000 of Juke Kartel fans on its social network,鈥 said Budin. The band jumped for the opportunity. 鈥淏oody is a freaking Legend!鈥 tells Juke Kartel bassist Tommy Kende. 鈥淲e loved the idea and got the foundation involved immediately.鈥
