The Peachtree Corners Business Association (PCBA) awarded a check for $500 to Paint Gwinnett Pink on July 25 at the PCBA Business After Hours Speaker event.
Paint Gwinnett Pink is an annual 5K walk/run event with one main mission: helping people in the community who are facing a breast cancer diagnosis by raising awareness and funding the best care possible for cancer warriors in the community.
The event is the largest breast cancer 5K in Gwinnett County. It is a celebration of survivorship, while raising awareness and funds for breast cancer programs at Northside Hospital Gwinnett. This years’ event is October 19, 2024 at Coolray Field.
“The PCBA is proud to donate a check for $500 to Paint Gwinnett Pink. Our Outreach Committee and Board are impressed with the Gwinnett Medical Center Foundation and the Paint Gwinnett Pink Program dedicated to providing equipment and resources to fight breast cancer one person at a time,” said Lisa Proctor, PCBA President
“Team PCBA is excited to participate in the annual Breast Cancer Awareness walk as we are more committed than ever to find ways to engage and bring our community together in a meaningful way,” she added.
Funds for the PCBA Community Outreach program are raised throughout the year from PCBA membership, sponsorship, and the organization’s annual charity event. Donations and scholarships are awarded at monthly events so members have the opportunity to learn more about these organizations.
Over the past 12 years, the PCBA has awarded 19 scholarships and donated in excess of $156,500+ back into our community.
