(Dover, NH) – Holy Rosary Credit Union (HRCU) in Dover will be the Pink Hot Spot for the American Cancer Society’s Annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K walk/run. This is HRCU’s 3rd year as the Pink Hot Spot host.
For the past three years, HRCU has been chosen as the financial institution representing the Hot Spot for this event. As the Pink Hot Spot, HRCU in Dover will be the site for individuals and teams to pick-up t-shirts, team packets and drop off donations. Every year in honor of breast cancer awareness, HRCU paints murals on their windows and purchases special give-a-ways for the branch. This year’s event is taking place on Sunday, October 16th in Dover and HRCU will have a team of representatives participating in the walk/run.
Every year the event grows busier and busier; we see more people taking part in the walk/run and more donations are being submitted. We are great supporters of the American Cancer Society and their mission of helping those who are affected by cancer,” says, Kristy Randazzo, Branch Manager of the Dover Branch. “We are especially excited this year as we have a team of HRCU staff walking on behalf of a family member this year.”
The American Cancer Society’s “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk” brings together communities to educate people about ways to reduce risk, celebrate those who have combated breast cancer, and to empower communities to join in on the fight. All proceeds will go toward research in discovering cures and providing support for those affected by cancer. Since 1993, nearly 7 million walkers have raised more than $400 million dollars to help fight breast cancer through the participation in the noncompetitive, 3- to 5-mile events. In 2010, nearly 800,000 walkers from across the country collected more than $60 million to help save lives from breast cancer.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the ACS has 12 chartered Divisions, more than 900 local offices nationwide, and a presence in more than 5,100 communities.
