Peachtree Corners Business Association Donates $3,500 to Georgia Alliance for Breast Cancer

The Peachtree Corners Business Association (PCBA) awarded a check for $3,500 to Georgia Alliance for Breast Cancer at our October, 2024 Business After Hours event!

The PCBA is proud to donate a check for $3,500 to the Georgia Alliance for Breast Cancer.    The PCBA Outreach Committee and Board are dedicated to identifying and selecting charities whose mission aligns with supporting our community. 
 
Georgia Alliance for Breast Cancer - Formerly It's the Journey is a registered 501c3 non-profit that supports Georgia’s breast cancer community by raising funds to support breast health and breast cancer programs throughout the state of Georgia.  Since 2002, the Georgia 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer has raised over $19 million to fund 554 grants that provide breast cancer education, screening, early detection, support services and continuing care for Georgians.  Their mission is to engage with Georgia's breast cancer community to increase access to care and reduce disparities in cancer outcomes.
 
Since these donations are made possible through our members and sponsorships, we wanted to award this check at our recent PCBA Business After Hour Speaker’s event allowing our members the opportunity to celebrate with us and learn how this organization supports our community” says Lisa Proctor, PCBA President. This check represents the first of three charities we raised money for at our annual charity event, Tailgates and Touchdowns in August of this year.  We will be awarding a check to the Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries in November and Spectrum Autism Support Group in December.

"We are so proud of our continued commitment to supporting our community.  The PCBA has donated $162,000 + to local deserving charities and awarded 19 scholarships to outstanding graduating high school seniors in our metro Atlanta community since the inception of our community outreach program in 2013" Proctor states.

Funds for the PCBA Community Outreach program are raised throughout the year from PCBA membership, sponsorship, and our annual charity event.  Donations and scholarships are awarded at our monthly events so our members have the opportunity to learn more about these organizations.
