CHICAGO--Hu-Friedy was recently honored with the National Breast Cancer Network of Strength Race to Empower–Team Achievement Award.

Hu-Friedy was recognized for recruiting corporate teams in multiple markets across the country, alone raising more than $20,000 with 176 team members participating in six total markets--Atlanta, Chicago, New Haven, Sacramento, San Diego, and Washington, DC.

The award was presented at a reception at the Chicago Hilton Garden Inn by breast cancer survivor and the Network's CEO and Founder Margaret Kirk.

This year is a special year for Hu-Friedy and the National Breast Cancer Network of Strength (formally known as the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization). It marks Hu-Friedy's 100th birthday and the Network's 30th anniversary.

Race teams formed under the Hu-Friedy name and included representation from the American Association of Women Dentists.
