NASSAU, Bahamas - This October the Bahamas Waste family will don their pink shirts again and remind Bahamians about early testing to detect and prevent cancer. They are also very pleased to have been asked to partner with CIBC FirstCaribbean in this year's 'Walk for the Cure'.
"I do not know of anyone that has not been affected by the devastation of this horrible disease," said Francisco de Cardenas, Managing Director at Bahamas Waste. "If there is anything that we can do, however big or small, to bring awareness or better yet, save a life - we will do it!"
Last October the Waste mechanical department painted one of their garbage trucks bright pink to help raise awareness of cancer in The Bahamas and to support the message to test early. The staff, which are mainly male, also donned shirts that said "Real Men Wear Pink" in support of cancer month and one of their own employees, Hartley Strachan, who is a three-time survivor of the disease.
The company is now very pleased to have been asked to bring their Big Pink Truck out for the 'Walk for the Cure', which is scheduled in New Providence for Sunday, October 4th at 7:00am beginning at the Goodman's Bay Corporate Centre.
The long route will take participants to the Sandals Resort and back, and the Survivors Route will be to the Melia Roundabout and back. Bahamas Waste is incredibly proud to be participating in more events that promote cancer awareness and support a cause near and dear to them.
