CHICAGO, Illinois--On Mother's Day 2009, Team Hu-Friedy not only reached its corporate fundraising goal of $10,000 for the Breast Cancer Network of Strength's Walk to Empower, but picked up first prize in the organization's corporate T-shirt design contest.
Hu-Friedy's T-shirt design was created by Hu-Friedy graphic designer Robin Haugen and voted upon collectively by Hu-Friedy employees to represent its company on Walk Day.
The T-shirt award is an honor, but also a testament to Hu-Friedy's team spirit which was illustrated in the turnout for the event (close to 75 employees, family members/ friends). This was Hu-Friedy third year of participating in the Walk to Empower and employee involvement remains strong.
In addition to the funds raised through corporate activities, special donations were received by members of Hu-Friedy's online dental hygiene community, Friends of Hu-Friedy. The local dental hygiene association components also showed strong support by sending representatives to join Team Hu-Friedy in the walk.
Support of the Breast Cancer Network of Strength (formerly known as the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization) continues to be an important initiative for Hu-Friedy. With sustained donations through instrument sales, Hu-Friedy remains dedicated to fight breast cancer, a disease that directly affects many of its customers and colleagues.
