Realmark raises just over $3,000 for Breast Cancer

As a company which is predominantly made up of females, it was important to me that Realmark supported the Mother’s Day Classic fun run and walk for breast cancer.

At Realmark we have about 140 staff. Just less than 100 of those are women.

It’s safe to say that breast cancer affects everyone in some way; mothers, daughters, sisters, nieces and friends. It has no preference for just one ‘type’ of woman.

The Mother’s Day Classic fun run and walk event is not only a great opportunity to recognise Mother’s Day but also a fantastic way for people to give something back to the community and show support to those who have gone through, or are going through breast cancer.

All proceeds from the Mother’s Day Classic are donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, which has raised $7.8 million dollars since it began in 1998. We encouraged all family and friends of staff at Realmark to join us in taking part, whether it was in walking or through donations.

Thank you to everyone who was there on the day (39 of Realmark staff, family & friends) and to all who made donations. Without these generous donations we would have not achieved the awesome fundraising result of just over $3,000 - THANK YOU! It was great to see people coming together to make a difference.
