TempForce’s Seeing Pink:Raising Awareness fundraiser asks local businesses to send photos to TempForce of their staff members dressed in pink.

October is all about orange and black, right? Wrong. At TempForce, October is all about pink.

TempForce is doing its part to fund breast cancer research in the hopes of finding a cure. And they are giving other companies the opportunity to join them in the fight.

Throughout the month of October, the staffing agency is hosting a fundraiser for local businesses to be a part of. Being involved is as simple as snapping a photo of staff members.

This is the fourth year since TempForce began its Seeing Pink: Raising Awareness fundraiser. To participate in the fundraiser, local businesses can send photos to TempForce of their staff members dressed in pink. For each photo they receive, TempForce donates $10 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

“The community participation has been great,” Marketing Specialist Ava Lowe said. “The $10 we donate for each photo really adds up over the month.”

During last October, TempForce was able to raise over $3,000. They are on their way to another great year, having already raised over $1,000 dollars.

Each company that submits a photo will be eligible for the Most Creative Pink Pic contest. The winner of this contest will receive a company lunch, serving up to 50 employees.

“This is our way to help with breast cancer research,” Lowe said. “We do that through raising money and the pink photos. We hope that women will see these photos and they will serve as a reminder to have their checkups done.”

The Seeing Pink campaign is a way for TempForce to get other companies involved in the cause. For companies to participate they do not have to be a TempForce client. Any business is welcome to send their pink photos to TempForce. These photos are posted every Friday on the company Facebook page.

“Awareness is so important, but it’s not enough,” said Ava Lowe. “This is the first year we’re donating to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation directly. Someone close to our TempForce family was taken this year after being in remission. If we can contribute directly to the search for the cure, we’re going to fight to raise all the money we can. We’re fighting for a better future.”
