The Burton Coal Mine’s pink CAT 789C has delivered $48,302 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. From October 2008, members of the Thiess team at the Burton Coal Mine in Queensland’s Bowen Basin have raised money for their Pink Truck Campaign. Their aim was to reach $40,000 by October 2009.

The 12-month campaign involved a Cat789C being painted pink as part of fundraising by staff. Thiess contributed one cent for every BCM of dirt moved in the pink truck and Peabody donated 10 cents for every BCM of coal it moved. The campaign had significant corporate support, with Peabody and SEBBA International joining the Thiess team in the ‘drive against breast cancer’.
