Casual for a Cause: BMT Thinks Pink for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October 29 2019 - 4:52PM
Bryn Mawr Trust (BMT), a subsidiary of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation
(BMBC) (NASDAQ: BMTC), celebrated women’s health in October,
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The effort, launched
internally earlier this month, was meant to increase awareness
about the importance of early detection and acknowledging and
supporting individuals and families affected by breast cancer.
BMT has made an $5,000 donation to the Abramson
Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania. BMT employees wore
pink and jeans each Friday in October – raising and contributing an
additional $3,000 though their Causal for a Cause program. The
donations will support the Penn Medicine Breast Health Initiative
that provides free mammograms for uninsured and underinsured 40
years of age and older.
Penn’s program was further promoted through the
distribution of PBHI program flyers at all BMT banking locations.
BMT’s website, bmt.com, and social media sites have carried a pink
theme through October.
“Penn Medicine’s screening program is invaluable
to families in the communities that both of our organizations
serve,” said Lindsay Saling, BMT banking group vice president. “We
are pleased to support the program for a second year. Our efforts
around women’s and men’s health have been well received by our
employees and customers.”
“BMT’s $8,000 donation – and the awareness their
effort produces – enables us to link at-risk, medically-underserved
women in our community into mammography screening and along the
diagnostic continuum of care,” said Emily Verderame, MPH, from the
Penn Medicine Breast Health Initiative. “The Penn Medicine Breast
Health Initiative (PBH) is dedicated to eliminating breast cancer
disparities and we very much value BMT’s support as it will provide
equitable care to patients of our program.”
BMT is planning a similar program for November
to support men’s health.
