Connexus Credit Union lights up headquarters for Metastatic Breast Cancer awareness
WAUSAU, WI (October 10, 2022) — On Thursday, Connexus Credit Union’s philanthropic program, Connexus Cares, will participate in #LightUpMBC – an international campaign to shine a light on the importance of funding metastatic breast cancer research.
At sunset on October 13, Connexus’ Corporate Cove headquarters in Wausau will be one of 200 iconic landmarks worldwide lit in green, teal, and pink for the #LightUpMBC campaign. Three other Wisconsin landmarks will also participate: Town Bank in Hartland and the Hoan Bridge and Wisconsin Center District Tunnel in Milwaukee.
According to METAvivor’s website, more than 200,000 Americans are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and six to ten percent are diagnosed with MBC. Although 30% of all breast cancer patients develop MBC over time, only a small percentage of breast cancer research is dedicated to MBC, which is why raising awareness is critical.
