Employees at the Toppenish Safeway presented a $79,000 check to The Memorial Foundation to support prevention and early detection of breast cancer at ‘Ohana, Memorial’s Mammography Center Thursday. The donations come primarily from payroll deductions and contributions made by Safeway employees throughout the Yakima Valley, who specifically chose The Memorial Foundation as their beneficiary of the donations. The Toppenish Safeway store raised over $13,000.
“We are so appreciative to Safeway for this generous gift and for ensuring that the money they raise stays right here to benefit our local community,” says Diane Patterson, Vice President and Administrator of Imaging Services at Memorial.
Safeway has been a significant supporter of Breast Cancer awareness, prevention and treatment both at ‘Ohana and Memorial’s North Star Lodge Cancer Center. In addition, Safeway has been a community partner and supporter of programs and services at Hospice, Cottage in the Meadow (the new hospice care facility currently under construction), Children’s Village and Children’s Miracle Network®. Since 2003, Safeway and its employees and customers, have contributed almost $588,000 to health programs and services in our community--$280,615 of which were designated specifically for breast cancer support.
