(Dover, NH) – Recently, Holy Rosary Credit Union (HRCU) in Dover hosted as the Pink Hot Spot for the American Cancer Society’s Annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K walk/run. This was 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 was HRCU’s first time taking part in the 5k Run/Walk that took place earlier this month. Some HRCU staff walked on behalf of family members.
“It was great that we were able to take part in the event this year,” says, Kristy Randazzo, Branch Manager of the Dover Branch. “This year was extra special as we HRCU staff members walking on behalf of a family member.”
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. 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.
The American Cancer Society is a nationwide, community-based voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. 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.
