Breakthrough Cancer Research Fight for the Girls this October
 

Date: October 1st - 31st

 

Breakthrough Cancer Research is asking Chamber members to consider taking a box of their Butlers bars to sell at their reception areas. The company does not need to pay for the product, any unsold bars will be picked up by Breakthrough Cancer Research at the end of October. There is a slot in the box for people to put money in so receptionists do not need to take charge of the box. October is breast cancer awareness month and our Fight for the Girls campaign aims to raise funds to find new treatment options for the leading cancers affecting women, it would be wonderful to have your support.
