HERNDON, Va.–Northwest FCU recently held its annual “Pink Day” in support of breast cancer awareness. Employees gathered to take their annual Pink Day photo, acknowledging those in their lives who have been affected by the disease. The Credit Union made a donation to Step Sisters, a local organization providing breast cancer patients with transport to treatment, house cleaning services, meals, and more.
Combined with its annual health fair, the Credit Union offered free on-site mammograms to employees. Northwest Federal’s President and CEO, Chris McDonald, said the focus on early detection is a part of the Credit Union-wide wellness initiative.
“We encourage our employees to take advantage of preventive services available to them in all aspects of their health. On Pink Day, our hope is to bring awareness to breast cancer prevention, and overall wellness to our employee community and those we serve.”
