Olympia Management showed its support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month wearing pink or pink ribbons on Friday, October 12, 2018, and all month long. Olympia Management encourages you to participate in the Marshall Medical Centers Pink Pumpkin Run October 27, 2018.  You can register here:       https://raceroster.com/events/2018/16799/9th-annual-pink-pumpkin-run

There are other ways you can show support.  You can host or attend a fundraiser for cancer research or supporting local cancer organizations.  There are many worthy organizations that support breast cancer patients and survivors.  Many of these organizations have small budgets but do amazing things.  Making a monetary donation is a great way to show your support during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Before you donate, do some homework though.  You want to make sure your money is going to HELP women through their journey with breast cancer.  Many larger charities have high administrative costs that eat up donations, so if you really want to make a difference, research the charity before you donate to make sure your dollars will be well spent. If you can’t make a monetary donation, many non-profits focused on breast cancer have volunteer opportunities.  Consider donating your time.  To a non-profit, manpower and brain power is just as important and monetary donations.

Please join us in supporting Breast Cancer Awareness not only in October but all year long.  For more information on breast cancer, here are some informative links to organizations.
