New Horizons Credit Union presents American Cancer Society with $3,500 check for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer
MOBILE, AL (December 9, 2019) — New Horizons Credit Union’s employees presented a check for $3,500.00 representing fund raising efforts to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
Giving back to the community is important for New Horizons Credit Union with offices throughout south east Alabama. New Horizons Credit Union raised the majority of the funds through a loan campaign whereby every loan closed during the month of October would generate $10 to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Additional funds were raised via branch member and staff contributions. This year’s the Mobile Making Strides Walk was canceled due to extreme bad weather conditions. These additional funds collected helped with the overall fund raising endeavors of the organization.
For nearly 100 years, the American Cancer Society has been a comforting presence in nearly every community across the country, offering programs and support to help guide people facing breast cancer through every part their cancer experience. The money raised from the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events help provide free breast cancer programs and resources to women and their families.
