Employees donate cash, wear jeans to help find cancer cure

By Messaging and Marketing on October 10, 2014 Inside Dallas ISD

Dallas ISD employees are adding their support to efforts to discover a cure for breast cancer by participating in the Denim Day for a Cure fundraiser benefiting the organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure. On Oct. 24, staff members will join thousands around the country in making cash donations and wearing pink and/or denim in support of breast cancer awareness.

Employee donations will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which will use the proceeds to help provide life-saving screenings in the form of low-cost or free mammograms, diagnostic testing and breast cancer treatment to uninsured or underinsured Dallas County residents. The foundation also provides support services before, during and after breast-cancer treatment, and invests in groundbreaking cancer research.
