Raising Money For Breast Cancer Research During Breast Cancer Awareness Month
One of out every eight women in the United States will likely develop breast cancer , according to research from the American Cancer Society . This alarming number of diagnoses is growing as incidence rates in recent years have increased by 0.5 % per year .
In honor of those who have survived or passed away from breast cancer , Legacy Partners ’ Denver-based development and property management teams raised $ 3,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation in recognition of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month .
What started as a $ 1,000 company donation turned into an office-wide rally to wear pink on Friday , October 22 . As a surprise to the employees , the company donated an additional $ 25 for every picture posted internally by the employees , bringing the donation total to $ 1,500 .
Only a few days later did the company ’ s executive team of Preston Butcher , Guy Hays , and Dean Henry match 100 percent of the donations — a $ 3,000 total company donation to help fund breast cancer support services and education .
The National Breast Cancer
Foundation does important work in our communities , and Legacy Partners is honored to play a small role in helping them serve and support women in Denver and throughout the country .
