GHI supports breast cancer awareness

In October, GHI staff took to the streets in four cities across the state, participating in regional American Cancer Society (ACS) Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks. Team GHI, comprised of more then 400 GHI employees and family members, took part in sponsored ACS walks in New York, Syracuse, Albany, and Lake Katrine, raising donations of more than $30,000 for this important cause.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is a noncompetitive walk to help increase public awareness and knowledge of breast cancer and to provide hope to people facing the disease. It is the ACS’s premier event to raise funds to fight breast cancer. Proceeds from these annual walks underwrite the American Cancer Society’s lifesaving research, prevention, early detection, and support programs for thousands of patients and their families.

GHI is dedicated to working to raise awareness of important health issues, including the fight against breast cancer. 2007 marks GHI's eighth consecutive year as a Flagship Sponsor of the ACS Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk.
