United Community Bank joins fight against breast cancer

United Community Bank has partnered to fight breast cancer with the American Cancer Society through participation in their UCB Pink & Jeans Days for October Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

On Oct. 9 and Oct. 23, employees at all five UCB locations joined in the fight against cancer by donating $5 to wear pink and jeans to work those days. In addition to spreading awareness about breast cancer, the funds raised for the American Cancer Society will help in their efforts to save lives from breast cancer through early detection and prevention, innovative breast cancer research and patient support.
