UniBank Employees are "Costumed For A Cure"

On Monday and Tuesday, October 30-31, 2006, employees at each UniBank location will be “Costumed For A Cure” to support the Massachusetts Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Employees in Whitinsville, Uxbridge, Douglas, Upton, Blackstone, Sutton and Whitinsville Plaza will wear a costume to work, decorate their branches, and compete to raise funds in support of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Customers will “cast their votes” for the best costume by donating money in canisters for the costume of their choice. The employee who raises the most money at UniBank will win a prize. Each employee who raises $50 or more will receive a t-shirt. This is UniBank’s 11^th year participating in “Costumed For A Cure,” and employees have raised over $10,100 in total.

The funds raised through “Costumed For A Cure” will support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has made great strides in research on blood-related cancers. The survival rate for patients has tripled in the last 40 years. However, leukemia remains the number one disease killer of children, and affects ten times more adults. The Massachusetts Chapter supports programs of research, patient aid, advocacy and education throughout Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire.

Please support the efforts of UniBank to help find a cure for blood-related cancers. For more information on “Costumed For A Cure,” please call the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at (800) 688-6572, or UniBank at (508) 234-8112.
