UF HEALTH TEAM WALKS TO RECORD-SETTING TOTAL

Our employees raised $10,000 more than last year

By: Jessica Barton

UF Health had a record high 576 staff members and their families participate in this year’s American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in October. Sporting bright pink UF Health Cancer Center shirts, the walkers made a 3.2-mile loop around Celebration Pointe during the annual fundraiser.

Each of our 22 teams pledged time, talent and treasure toward the fight against breast cancer, working to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research and treatments. UF Health teams raised $41,577 during the event — a new record for our group!
