Cera Products Lends support to Breast Cancer charity
CeraSport donated for silent auction
Baltimore, MD, July 25, 2004--Cera Products has donated six cases -- valued at nearly $1,000 -- of CeraSport to the second annual “Heart and Sole Stroll” July 25, 2004, at Centennial Lake in Columbia, Maryland. The event is sponsored and organized by the RedDevils, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides support services to families in Maryland living with breast cancer.
To raise money to support these individuals and their families, the organization hopes to raise at least $85,000 by way of walker registrations, donations, and corporate sponsorships. The money raised will go toward support services like house cleaning, transportation, and dinners for the families.
Cera Products Founder Charlene Riikonen is a long-time supporter of charity organizations and events such as the Heart and Sole Stroll. "Cera Products is honored and thrilled to be able to help organizations like the RedDevils in any way possible," she said.
