Pen Air FCU Helps Make Breast Cancer Walk a Success
Pensacola, Fla.- October 30, 2012 — More than 14,000 people gathered together Saturday morning donning pink, pink, and more pink. The 10th annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at the Cordova Mall raised $475,000 for the American Cancer Society.
Pen Air Federal Credit Union was there to show their support, greeting and encouraging walkers, providing a special gift to breast cancer survivors, handing out prizes, and raffling off a free gift basket. Many employees participated in the walk, being a part of the Pen Air Striders team. The $1.2 billion credit union donated $25,000 to the cause.
“We are honored to participate in this great cause. It is overwhelming to be a part of a group of professionals and this community who support Making Strides Against Breast Cancer so whole-heartedly,” said Pen Air FCU President and CEO, Stewart Ramsey.
