Mirabito Cares Raises $90,000 for the Fight Against Breast Cancer
Binghamton, NY – Mirabito Convenience Stores and their Mirabito Cares community service initiative is thrilled to announce that its October Round Up campaign in support of the American Cancer Society raised an impressive $90,000 to support breast cancer research and treatment programs. This total includes the incredible generosity of Mirabito Convenience Store customers, who rounded up their purchases throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month, as well as a significant contribution from Mirabito itself.
The funds raised will directly benefit the American Cancer Society’s efforts to advance life-saving research, provide vital resources for patients, and promote early detection and prevention.
“We are thrilled by the incredible generosity of our customers and the unwavering support of our team members, which has helped us achieve a record-breaking Round Up campaign,” said Marissa Sweeney, Director of Marketing at Mirabito Energy Products. “Raising $90,000 highlights the amazing impact our community can have when we come together for a cause that touches so many lives. Thank you to everyone who made this milestone possible.”
During October, Mirabito employees donned pink shirts to raise awareness and show solidarity with those affected by breast cancer. Our Mirabito Cares community service team members also attended various Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks throughout the month. Finally, our customers stepped up in a big way as their small contributions at checkout added up to something truly remarkable in support of this worthy cause.
Making a Difference Together
The funds raised are part of Mirabito Cares’ ongoing mission to support community-focused initiatives. In partnering with the American Cancer Society, Mirabito is proud to contribute to a brighter future for those impacted by breast cancer.
“Not counting skin cancers, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the United States, accounting for roughly 30% of all new female cancers each year,” noted Heather Morris, Corporate Relations Manager at the American Cancer Society. “Thanks to this wonderful partnership with our friends at Mirabito, their employees, and amazing customers, we are able to improve the lives of people with breast cancer and their families across our area through advocacy, research, and patient support, ensuring everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive breast cancer. We are so grateful to Mirabito and the impactful difference they are making in our communities.”
