Arbutus Park Retirement Community raised $1,010 for the Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center by holding a pink gob, pink ribbon lollipop, and cookie sale at their facility. Arbutus also hosted a Pink Out Dress-Down Day asking its 280 employees to donate towards the cause.
Their generous support helps fund Pink Ribbon Care, a program that provides assistance for patients who are unable to pay for breast-related health services – including mammograms, follow-up diagnostic services, and genetic counseling.
Arbutus Park Retirement Community began raising funds to support breast cancer awareness in 2014. Since then, they have raised a total of $2,110 for the JMBCC.
