Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hi Everyone!

October is here!!  The look and smell of fall is everywhere – I LOVE IT :).

As many of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Over the last year, several of you have requested we do some fundraising for breast cancer so…WE ARE!!

Breast cancer has affected many of us, maybe even all of us in some way.  Personally, this is something very near and dear to my heart as I lost my mom to breast cancer at the age of 5.  Thankfully, more and more lives are being spared due to the advancements in research, education and treatment.  Early detection is the key, so please encourage all of the women in your life to get their mammograms yearly :).

This year we will be doing a few different things to help raise money for breast cancer research.  Here are the ways you can get involved:

  1. Monday Jean Day!!! – If you would like to participate, you will donate $20 to wear jeans every Monday in October.
  2. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk:
  1. Participate in our “Pink Out” on Monday October 27th:
  • How?  You can buy one of the McKinley Healthy Living breast cancer awareness t-shirts for $20 OR just wear any piece of pink clothing you have on 10/27.
  • If you are going to order/buy one of our t-shirts, you must email me your t-shirt size by this Monday October 6th.  The t-shirt sizes are men’s sizes.

How to donate and pay for your t-shirts:

  • Click the link to donate online http://main.acsevents.org/goto/teammckinley (please email me to let me know if you are paying for your t-shirt by donating online)
  • Donating with cash – hand your money into your community manager and they can make one donation at the end of the month.  If you’re at the corporate office, hand your money to Martina and we will make one donation at the end of the month.
  • Donating with a check – make the check out to the “American Cancer Society” with “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” written in the memo line.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Yours in Health and Wellness,

Meredith
