Press Release October 31, 2016
In October 2016, The CMI Group partnered with Susan G. Komen Dallas County to raise funds and awareness for a cure to breast cancer, a disease that one in eight women will be diagnosed with in their lifetime. Susan G. Komen Dallas County has invested more than $22 million in breast health programs and services for medically-underserved Dallas County residents since 1992. In 2016, more than 240,000 cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women and 2,600 in men in the United States. (source: www.komen-dallas.org)
The CMI Group wanted to get involved in the fight against breast cancer and designated October 14th as “Pink Out Day” and set a fundraising goal for all of the employees. CMI made a donation for each employee that wore a pink shirt and our employees more than DOUBLED our fundraising goal. Thanks to all of the donations through the month and “Pink Out Day”, we raised a total of $2,373 that will provide vital funds for screening, diagnostic testing, treatment, research, and community outreach programs.
MANY THANKS TO OUR EMPLOYEES FOR THEIR participation and contributions. We couldn’t have done it without you!
