Release Summary: Joppa, MD October 20, 2008—As part of Breast
Cancer Awareness Month, The American Cancer Society Making Strides
Against Breast Cancer is sponsoring walks all over the United
States. To help raise money for research and awareness, Custom
Direct is joining in this walk and accepting donations for The
American Cancer Society.
Press
Release Body: As a company that is very involved in the community,
Custom Direct is extremely happy to have its
employees, under team leader, Jackie Urlahs,
participating in this event. With approximately twenty employees
along with friends and relatives participating, Custom
Direct has already raised over $2000 and the number keeps
rising. To show its true appreciation for the cause and goodwill
of its employees, Custom Direct has donated $500
to The American Cancer Society through the Making
Strides Against Breast Cancer walk that will take place
on October 26, 2008 in Baltimore, Maryland.
The
American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is
a cause solely based on donations. Founded by four women, two
of whom are breast cancer survivors, Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer raised over $50 million in 2007 alone to
be used for breast cancer research, increasing education and awareness,
ensuring that women have access to mammograms and continual care,
providing free programs, and bettering the quality of life of
those battling breast cancer. Additionally, almost 500,000 people
from over 130 communities across the country participated in the
walk last year. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is
a wonderful way to provide hope and heighten awareness about this
tragic disease.
With
a momentum building in donations and the enthusiasm for the walk
growing, Jackie Urlahs had this to say about
the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event,
“I’m really excited to see the response in participation
from our associates, and I’m very proud of the amount we’ve
raised in such a short time. I’m hopeful that we will continue
to participate in this walk on an annual basis and raise the bar
each year.”
