Battle Creek, Mich., October, 2009 –  OMNI Community Credit Union participated in “Lee Jean Day for Breast Cancer Awareness.”  Employees donated money in exchange for wearing jeans and pink.  Together, Team OMNI raised $300.  The money then goes to fund research and education.  It also helps to provide screenings for high risk individuals who cannot afford testing.

“I’m proud to be part of an organization that cares so much about helping others fight this deadly disease,” said Team OMNI member, Diane Buckley.
