Drive Pink--What difference can we make?

As October came to a close, we were finally able to tally up just how much we were able to raise for our breast cancer awareness program, Drive Pink. We are so excited to make our donation in the amount of $1,887.00!
The donation has been made to the KU Cancer Center Breast Cancer Patients in Need Fund. We are overjoyed with all of the support that was shown by patients and employees alike! We cannot express our appreciation enough.

From the outset of developing our breast cancer awareness program, we knew that we wanted our donation to be used to help local patients in the Kansas City area. We wanted to be able to make an impact in our city, to our neighbors and friends, and those women who are already affected by breast cancer. It will be used to support their existing needs by covering the cost of items that will help make life a little more tolerable while going through what is likely the most difficult process any human being can go through. Items such as books, blankets, and other needed amenities that they simply are unable to afford on their own due to the overwhelming expenses of patient care. With so many fundraisers benefiting the research-side of breast cancer, we wanted to make sure those who are already affected are considered as well. Thank you, everyone, once again for you continued support. We will be running this program again next year and hope for equal or even better results! You have truly made a difference in many local women's lives!
