For the second consecutive year, employees at Ultium Cells in Spring Hill held an employee fundraising campaign to assist local women facing breast cancer through the Maury Regional Health Care Foundation Breast Center Fund. This year, they raised $8,948, bringing the cumulative two-year donation to $15,519.
According to Tatiana Carter, Communications Specialist, the funds were raised through sales of t-shirts and pink ribbons featured on a breast cancer awareness display, as well as through a silent auction. Hundreds of team members contributed, helping Ultium Cells surpass last year’s total and make an even greater impact in supporting local patients and families affected by breast cancer.
“I’m very proud of our team for rallying together once again to make a difference,” said Gretchen Murray, President of the Ultium Women Employee Resource Group. “Breast cancer touches the lives of so many in our community. Our hope is that this contribution not only supports those currently in treatment but also raises awareness about the importance of early detection and continued care.”
The Foundation’s Breast Center Fund provides funding for comfort supplies, such as wigs, various headpieces, camisoles and lymphedema garments, educational resources and programs that improve the quality of care for patients. The fund ensures women in the community receive personalized care and support during their health care journey.
“One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime,” said Foundation Executive Director Rita Thompson. “We are deeply grateful for community partners like Ultium Cells whose generosity enables the Foundation to provide essential support for patients. Together, we’re ensuring that women facing breast cancer receive the care and resources they need.”
