The Anderson County purchasing and school departments, along with the county mayor, have joined the fight to raise awareness for breast cancer, a press release said.
“Purchasing supports our own survivors, and we encourage and empower women to do monthly self-exams and get a yearly mammogram,” Purchasing Agent Pamela Cotham said.
As those battling cancer “box and fight” their way through, they are surrounded by many people—known and unknown—who stand in their corner during their fight.
“Pamela and the entire purchasing staff went the extra mile to help raise awareness for this important cause,” Anderson County Mayor Terry Frank said. “Sometimes we are so busy with life that we forget our own well-being. The powerful testimony of Cathy, Lisa, Joyce, and Terri made me pick up the phone for my own appointment, and hopefully, they will inspire others to do the same. I am so thankful these ladies have stepped forward to make a difference!”
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease.
