Dear Friends,
We hope you're staying cool and are well. Here's wishing the worst of the heat is behind us.
Speaking of heat...our upcoming Walk/Run/Yoga fundraiser is a hot ticket! We're approaching 300 registrants, have signed up nearly 80 volunteers, and have almost 40 Community Expo participants joining us this year. Wow!
If you haven't yet registered, don't delay! You won't want to miss this event after two years as a virtual fundraiser. There are so many fun elements and the need and meaning are great.
Registration has multiple benefits including access to our Community Expo, a finisher's medal and t-shirt for our walk/run participants and so much more. This year's goody bags (sponsored by Washington Hospital and Pleasanton State Farm agent Renee Huber) will be available while supplies last. And ensuring that you receive your preferred commemorative t-shirt size is another reason to register today.
Once you've signed up, consider creating a fundraising page to increase your giving impact or share the HERS Friends and Family fundraising page with your nearest and dearest. Even if they can't join you this year, they can cheer you on and support breast cancer survivors by making a gift in any amount.
With gratitude,
|

#TeamHERS Spotlight - Georgea TschΓ‘
|
|
|
This month we're focusing our spotlight on staff member Georgea TschΓ‘, who just celebrated five years of employment at HERS! Without further ado, we share Georgea's bio...
"Hi, my name is Georgea; I started at HERS as a volunteer, and today I'm their Senior Finance and Medical coordinator. As such, I am responsible for all medical billing with includes ensuring that our patients' coverage is up-to-date so we may successfully submit insurance claims.
In my free time, I like to travel with my husband. We love to travel and learn about different cultures and languages. I enjoy gardening and speaking with my plants is my meditation. This month I became a United States citizen. Our team at HERS is but we work together to ensure all patients get what they deserve to make their lives easier."
Thank you, Georgea, for your milestone employment anniversary and for your hard work and dedication. You are a joyful part of our team!
