Awareness Makes Cents Campaign
Our eighth “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 Silent Auction
This year’s piggy banks are really special! A group of survivors from BCSS (Breast Cancer Support Services of Berks County) have created colorful hand-painted piggy banks for us. These custom piggy banks will be featured on our social media pages throughout the month. All banks are available for purchase via silent auction on our Givebutter page (https://givebutter.com/c/3sT4kJ/auction). Bidding begins on Tuesday, October 1st, 2024 (scroll down for complete auction rules and deadlines). Proceeds from all sales will be donated to BCSS.

Thursday, October 10th – The Lackawanna mobile mammography unit will be onsite from 9 am – 4 pm at our 2609 Keiser Boulevard office, offering free mammograms to the public regardless of whether individuals have insurance coverage. Pre-registration is required. Appointments will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. To inquire or set up an appointment, please fill out and submit the registration form.

Other Ways to Participate Throughout the Month:
Queen’s Café
Located inside the Keiser Blvd branch lobby, the café will be offering a special pink drink and packages of mini-cupcakes for purchase all month long. Proceeds from sales go to support BCSS.
Donate – We’ll continue our tradition of having piggy banks at all branches so members can make donations that will be given to local breast cancer support service organizations. At our Keiser office location, you can donate your spare change through an ITM transaction to help too!

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.
