FORT WASHINGTON, Penn.–TruMark Financial will be one of four local presenting sponsors and the official sponsor of the Susan G. Komen Philadelphia MORE THAN PINK Walk on May 12.
Elaine Grobman, chief executive officer of Susan G. Komen Philadelphia, attended a meeting at the credit union and expressed gratitude for TruMark Financial’s support. She said one of the ways the sponsorship would help was to ensure 700 women get a mammogram, a measure to detect early signs of breast cancer.
A breast cancer survivor, who also happened to be a TruMark Financial member, showed an in-depth video depicting her journey as she battled the disease from her first chemotherapy treatment to forming a team and raising $5,000 at her first walk in 2014.
“Susan G. Komen Philadelphia offered support and put me in touch with world renowned doctors when I received my diagnosis,” said the survivor. She said she is so grateful that “her credit union” will join her with its own team at the walk in May as she reaches a personal milestone of being cancer-free for five years.
