Awareness Makes Cents Campaign
Our seventh “Awareness Makes Cents Campaign” kicks off on October 1st! Check out what we have planned to promote early detection and raise funds for those who have been impacted by breast cancer in our local community.
Custom-Designed Piggy Bank Voting and Silent Auction
Our employees have created colorful hand-painted piggy banks that will be featured on our social media pages throughout the month. We encourage you to vote for your favorite via our Facebook page. All banks will be available for purchase via silent auction on our Facebook page. Bidding begins Wednesday, October 25th, 2023 (scroll down for complete auction rules and deadlines). Proceeds from all sales will be donated to local breast cancer service organizations.

Custom Instant Issue Awareness Makes Cents Debit Cards
You can choose this year’s Awareness Makes Cents design to be featured on your debit card. Show your support for the cause and carry our custom campaign debit card. For each card purchased, a donation of $10 will be made to Breast Cancer Support Services of Berks (BCSS), a local organization providing services to members of our community currently undergoing cancer treatment.
We hope you’ll join us in our efforts to spread awareness and show support for those in our community who have been impacted by breast cancer.
