Press release from Palms Medical Group

HIGH SPRINGS, Fla. – Palms Medical Group staff collectively raised $4,259.28 in support of the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer movement, an initiative by the American Cancer Society. This fundraising effort took place during the month of October, celebrated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“The American Cancer Society deeply values our long-standing partnership with Palms Medical Group, which spans more than 10 years,” said Kyle Stone, Senior Development Manager for the American Cancer Society. “During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we celebrate Palms’ unwavering support of education, screening, and compassionate care for those impacted by breast cancer.”

In addition to a company sponsorship, Palms team members sold keychain-sized bears wearing pink shirts, as well as ribbons of support, on which donors wrote their names. They were displayed in Palms Medical Group offices across North Central Florida. Also, Palms employees were given the option to purchase ‘Fight for the Cure’ T-shirts. Proceeds from selling these shirts were donated, as well.

“We are honored to ‘Fight for the Cure’ for breast cancer again this year,” said Anita Rembert, CEO of Palms Medical Group. “I’m so proud of our team; we stand together each year in solidarity, working alongside one another with the goal to further American Cancer Society’s impact, and, in so doing, exemplify our mission.”
