I’ve always loved the saying, “Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.” Every time I hear it, I think of all the incredible women I’m surrounded by. All mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, co-workers – each having made my life infinitely better. We’ve learned from one another, grown together, and supported each other through the best and worst times of our lives.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Something born out of the need to support strong women everywhere – those that are fighting, the survivors, and the loved ones we’ve lost to breast cancer.
At CPI, we celebrate strong women and are “turning it Pink.” In our continued efforts to improve and save lives, we are partnering with organizations across our footprint that advocate for awareness, provide education and treatment, and fund critical research in hopes of eradicating breast cancer.
Join us in our efforts by walking with us or supporting these great organizations:
