October 28, 2025Northeastern Insurance Hosts Breast Cancer Awareness Week- Pink for a Purpose
Northeastern Insurance proudly hosted Breast Cancer Awareness Week from October 6th-10th. While our team will be celebrating all month long, this is the first year we dedicated a full week to host different initiatives and activities each day related to Breast Cancer Awareness. This year’s theme “Pink for a Purpose” encourages 100% employee participation to show unity, strength, and hope. This cause is particularly close to our hearts this year, as one of our employees has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and is currently undergoing treatment.
Each employee was given a pink ribbon pin to wear every day throughout the week, along with the following daily awareness activities:
Monday- Kickoff Day in Pink/Game Day- All employees wear pink, huge beautiful balloon arch displayed in front of office, awareness posters displayed with information on annual mammograms/breast health tips, employees put knowledge to the test with breast cancer awareness themed crosswords/emoji riddles. Also commenced employee fundraiser on social media to raise funds for our employee battling breast cancer.
Tuesday- Walk & Community. Dedicate a set time in the day to do a company-wide walk around our building/plaza to promote movement and solidarity.
Wednesday- Pink Fashion Show & Hair Extension Fundraiser- Hosted a fun, pink-themed fashion show in the office. Employees walked the pink carpet runway in creative pink outfits- including pink wigs, an inflatable pink dinosaur suit and more. Also Styled Studio Salon came to the office to offer pink hair extensions. The profits were donated to our employee battling breast cancer.
Thursday- Education & Awareness. Presentation of an educational slide show for all employees. Information will include breast health tips, importance of mammograms, survivor stories, available resources, and more.
Friday- Celebration & Fundraising. On the final day- Northeastern Insurance made a $5,000 donation to the local American Cancer Society. The fundraiser for our employee battling breast cancer- employees raised $1,500+ on their own, and Northeastern Insurance matched the donation to double it to over $3,000+ which will go directly to the employee. There was an official check presentation held at the office, and we were able to virtually present our employee-raised funds to our employee undergoing treatment.
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer in their lifetime, so we strive to raise awareness for a cause that effects so many people. “Our actions this week are a small part of a much larger fight,” said President and CEO Michael Venezio. “I’m grateful and proud for a team that shows up for the chance to support each other, raise awareness, and give back to a cause that matters to so many.”
We invite everyone in our community to get involved with local Breast Cancer initiatives and remain informed about early warning signs and prevention.
