First Harvest Credit Union Raises $3,500 through Charitable Journey Program

First Harvest Credit Union recently donated $3,500 to the Cooper Foundation, benefiting the MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper, in support of breast cancer patients and research.

First Harvest also supported its SVP Controller & Asset Recovery and a founding member of Charitable Journey, Camille Gadsden, in her journey with the Susan G. Komen 3-Day® this month. Over the course of three days, Camille walked more than 50 miles and raised funds alongside her team to help provide funding for breast cancer research, care, and advocacy. 

“Twelve years ago, I embarked on a journey that would change my life forever,” stated Gadsden.  “It started with getting involved to honor a dear friend, then experiencing the profound impact of cancer much closer when my mother was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Today, I’ve made it a life-long goal to dedicate myself to raising awareness about breast cancer and uniting our efforts to eradicate the disease. I envision a future where pink ribbons are known for holding ponytails, not symbolizing a devastating disease.”
