Subject: Cummins employees support breast cancer treatment program
JAMESTOWN, N.Y. -- Employees of Cummins' Jamestown Engine Plant raised $7,564.77 so the WCA Hospital and the Center For Imaging could buy a new full-field digital mammography imaging system.

The money was raised in October in an effort to heighten breast cancer awareness, according to an article in the Observer.

Throughout October, the Women's Affinity Council conducted a series of events and activities entitled "Filtering Change," to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month. More than 2,800 pink filter coin banks were produced by Cummins' Lake Mills Filtration Plant. These banks were distributed throughout Cummins' facilities in North America and many were purchased as gifts for family, friends, and survivors of breast cancer. At the Jamestown Engine Plant, as employees purchased the banks, they were also asked to collect change for donation through the Women's Affinity Council to WCA Hospital.

"Our move into digital mammography is both important and urgent," Dr. Lyndon Gritters, a hospital radiologist, told the Observer. "Detecting early breast cancer saves lives, and digital mammography will improve our ability to find these early, potentially curable cancers. I can't thank the Cummins' employees enough for their generosity and enthusiastic support of this effort!"
