Seven managers recently participated in NorthShore Care Supply's first "Pie in the Face" event, which involved employees throwing pies in the face of breast cancer as well as their managers' faces. Employees who donated the most for breast cancer from all areas throughout the incontinence product and supply company -- Customer Service, Warehouse, Marketing, Business Office, Human Resources -- threw whipped cream pies at their respective managers.
"I am very passionate about breast cancer after losing my mother when she was only 68 years old," says Kelly Hertel, Customer Service manager. "The other reason I am so committed to this cause is that 1 in 8 women develop this devastating disease each year in the U.S. That's astounding."
Other activities at NorthShore during October include pink donut day, pink lemonade day, wear pink day and pink ribbon day where employees received pink ribbons to wear. All proceeds collected will be donated to Susan G. Komen Chicago.
