Knock Out Cancer

CENT Credit Union is bringing back its annual Knock Out Cancer fundraiser this October to raise funds for two local groups doing important work to support those fighting breast cancer: The Breast Center of North Iowa and My Happy Haven.

Each year, CENT “goes pink” by selling ribbons and offering photos with pink boxing gloves in exchange for a freewill donation. This year, there’s a new twist: a pink punching bag will be up at The CENTer (25 West State Street). 

Visitors can give it their best shot in exchange for a freewill donation. They can also purchase a ribbon, bracelet, koozie, or t-shirt to help fund the fight against cancer.

Funds raised will help women with cancer in very real ways. My Happy Haven will use the funds to pay for bedroom renovations of women fighting cancer, and the Breast Center of North Iowa will purchase “Chloe” bears (Concern, Hope, Love, Optimism, Endurance), which are given to every breast cancer patient they help.

CENT will host Knock Out Cancer throughout the month of October and donate the proceeds in early November.
