Employees and Clients Come Together in New York to Walk in Support of the Fight Against Breast Cancer
NEW YORK, NY, November 7, 2016 – For the third consecutive year, TransPerfect took part in the American Cancer Society “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” walk to raise awareness and funds in an effort to help create a world free from the pain and suffering caused by this disease. In communities across the nation, TransPerfect committed to helping the Society fund groundbreaking breast cancer research, provide free, comprehensive information and support, and help people take steps to reduce their breast cancer risk or find it early when it’s most treatable.
“Together, TransPerfect and the American Cancer Society are committed to finishing the fight against breast cancer,” said Liz Elting, Co-CEO at TransPerfect. “Our employees are proud to form a team to help the American Cancer Society achieve their vision of a world without breast cancer.”
TransPerfect Co-CEO Phil Shawe added, “By joining with ACS, TransPerfect is supporting those in our community who are battling the disease, remembering those we’ve lost, and investing in the most effective cancer-fighting organization in the nation.”
The “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” program is the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation, uniting nearly 300 communities to celebrate breast cancer survivors, pay tribute to loved ones lost, and raise funds to end breast cancer.
