Atlanta-based PGi, a global leader in real-time, meeting solutions (NYSE: PGI), and the American Cancer Society are celebrating 10 years of working together on key Society initiatives, including the ACS signature cancer fundraising event, Relay for Life.
In 2011, PGi is the Presenting Sponsor of the Relay For Life at Adams on May 13, 2011 and Relay For Life of Alpharetta on May 20, 2011. In the past decade, PGi has committed over $200,000 to the Society and worked with ACS at the Adams Relay and Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Atlanta.
"Unfortunately, in some manner everyone is affected by cancer," said David Trine, PGi Chief Financial Officer. "The American Cancer Society is a phenomenal resource for cancer patients, cancer survivors and the families of those stricken with cancer. We support the ACS cause to create more birthdays and encourage those in the Atlanta area to attend one of the moving Relay for Life events that are organized to raise funds and drive awareness."
"Donating time, talent and funding during the last 10 years underscores the commitment that PGi has for the American Cancer Society and our mission to help us create a world with less cancer and more birthdays for everyone," said Randal Redner, the Society's Vice President for Georgia. "The American Cancer Society team in Georgia is deeply grateful for PGi's record of taking action in the fight against cancer during the last ten years."
