Building on last year’s success, JEGS aims to make an even bigger impact in the fight against breast cancer
Delaware, Ohio - The JEGS Foundation is proud to announce the kickoff of its 2024 Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign, which officially begins on October 1st. After raising nearly $65,000 in 2023 for breast cancer research and awareness, JEGS is gearing up for another impactful month of fundraising, community involvement, and awareness initiatives to continue supporting the fight against breast cancer.
Throughout the month of October, JEGS will engage with its customers, employees, and partners in a shared mission to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. This year, the foundation’s goal is to exceed last year’s fundraising achievements by offering the option to make a donation at checkout on JEGS.com, further contributing to life-saving research and advancements in treatment.
"Every October, we dedicate ourselves to supporting the millions of people affected by breast cancer," said JEGS Social Media & Events Manager, Makenna Brown. "Our 2023 campaign raised nearly $65,000, and we’re excited to build on that momentum in 2024. This cause is deeply personal to so many of us, and we’re committed to making a lasting impact."
Importance Of Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time to reflect, unite, and take action. It serves as a reminder of the importance of early detection through regular screenings, as well as the critical role that community and solidarity play in the fight against breast cancer.
JEGS recognizes that cancer touches nearly everyone in some way, whether through personal experiences, loved ones, or friends. This campaign is not only about raising funds but also about encouraging proactive health measures like mammograms and self-examinations.
