Total Quality Logistics is using the term “Pinktober” to describe the company’s month-long blitz to raise funds and support breast cancer research.

As part of the month-long effort to raise awareness, TQL’s corporate headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio — off I-275 in Union Township — is lit up with pink light every night in October.

Since 2010, TQL has donated more than $237,000 to support breast cancer research and patients, according to a news release.

TQL teams across the country will raise funds and participate in the American Cancer Society Making Strides walks, according to the release.

The release said TQL also will hold its ninth annual Loads for a Cure campaign where the company donates a portion of every load moved from Oct. 15 to 21 to the American Cancer Society.

Total Quality Logistics is the nation’s second largest freight brokerage firm, according to the release, with 2017 sales of more than $2.96 billion.
