Team Morgan Drexen Mayhem is Making Strides

Morgan Drexen recently participated in the 18th annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk of Orange County. One of many events across the country sponsored by the American Cancer Society, the walk is first and foremost a celebration of people who have survived breast cancer.

A team of employees, executives, friends and family raised $1200 to help prevent breast cancer, find cures and support programs and services for those battling disease. The Orange County event raised $240,000 total in 2011 and since the inception nearly 7 million walkers have raised over $400 million to help fight cancer nationwide.

"As a local business we feel it is our responsibility to support not only local charitable organizations but also national charities. We all know someone who is affected by cancer in some form or another and research into the disease is crucial," says Morgan Drexen CEO Walter Ledda.

Morgan Drexen stands with Making Strides to celebrate the 2.5 million Americans who have faced breast cancer and celebrate a world with more birthdays!
