TREVOSE, Pa. — In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Penn Emblem Company hosted a company-wide raffle across all four of its locations — corporate headquarters here and manufacturing facilities in California and Mexico — to raise funds for breast cancer research and awareness.
Employees participated by purchasing raffle tickets for $1 each, with one winner per location receiving a $100 gift card. Together, the teams raised $900, which Penn Emblem matched, resulting in a total donation to $1,800.
The funds were donated to Susan G. Komen, whose mission is to save lives by meeting the most critical needs in communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer.
To further show support, Penn Emblem distributed custom PennFlex™ Warrior Woman emblems to every employee, encouraging them to wear their emblem in honor of someone affected by breast cancer and to spark conversations around awareness and early detection.
Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers, impacting one in eight women in their lifetime.
Penn Emblem says it is “proud to stand alongside the millions of warriors, survivors, and families in the fight for a cure — raising awareness and contributing to research that brings hope for a future without breast cancer.”
