Seattle-based SanMar Corporation, a supplier of imprintable apparel and accessories, proudly announced that their employees raised more than $36,000 for breast cancer research.
“It was a whirlwind of fund-raising activity and certainly no lack of creativity, with raffles, bake sales and garage sales. We are so pleased to partner with the local community and raise money towards such an important and worthy cause,”explained Susan Jarvie, human resource manager at SanMar.
The SanMar fundraising campaign was held in conjunction with the October campaign of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
