Support from the Woman’s Club includes weekly deliveries of over 500 freshly baked goods throughout the month of October.
Founded in May, 1930, the Woman’s Club of Windsor, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization. The Windsor club is part of the GFWC, an international women’s organization dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through volunteer service. Our goals in 1930 were the same as today, to promote the civic, cultural, educational and social welfare of our community, to join with other club women to make a difference outside of our community and to provide fellowship for our members.
Barbara Barnes, President of the Woman’s Club states. “The members of the Woman’s Club of Windsor, Inc. are excited to join with Community Electric Cooperative in their fundraising efforts to support Breast Cancer Awareness month by providing a variety of baked items for them to sell to customers and staff. We hope our contributions have served to help honor those individuals and their families who have been affected by this disease and that the support of such fundraisers will help further research to help put an end to the disease.”
The Susan G. Komen® organization was started in 1982, after Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan, that she would fight to end breast cancer forever. From its humble beginnings it has grown into the world’s largest nonprofit source of funding for the fight against breast cancer, and is the ONLY organization to support the breast cancer movement on all fronts including research, community health, global outreach, and public policy.
“Supporting the community around us has never been more important,” says Jessica Parr, Manager of Communications. “At a time when people need the most help, we are humbled by the actions of our board members, employees, partners and the entire CEC & RECORE family and their commitment to a worthy cause.”
In further support of breast cancer awareness and the Susan G. Komen Foundation, expect to see linemen donning bright pink hardhats to honor and bring awareness to the breast cancer fight throughout the month of October. CEC and RECORE logos will also transition to shades of pink. While the logos will return to their usual colors in November, our commitment to issues that impact our members, staff, and our community won’t diminish.
Breast cancer is not a disease that has a single story. It is as diverse and complex as our global community and it profoundly impacts everyone it touches—patients, loved ones, doctors, caregivers, advocates and more.
