Pink October 2024
As we have done for the past ten years, our offices will be donned in pink decor in the month of October. During this time we will be selling ribbons/logos to raise money for Breast Cancer charities. Our staff will also be donating money to dress down during select days in October.
First Choice America cares about the communities we serve. We are proud to announce that over the past ten years we have raised over $65,000 to assist worthy charities in the battle against breast cancer.
