Women in the United States have a one in eight chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. This devastating statistic illustrates the danger women face and the dire need for greater awareness and proper screening. At the start of this year, Onset Financial chose to advocate for the fight against breast cancer.

Onset Financial has displayed its commitment to fight by changing the logos on its building from its trademark blue to pink. But, more importantly, the company opted to host the Intermountain Healthcare Mobile Mammography Truck to allow employees and local women to get screened for breast cancer. Annual screenings are essential for early detection and to ensure that any necessary treatment is as effective as possible.

Over the two days during which Onset Financial hosted the truck, many women took advantage of the opportunity to get screened. Onset Financial also provided swag bags, important information on breast cancer and refreshments. The truck’s ease-of-access incentivized many women to get screened for the first time.

“Thank you so much to Onset and IHC for providing us this opportunity to get our yearly mammograms done,” Holly Cahoon, senior leasing officer at Onset Financial, said. “It was easy, so appreciated and nice to get the word out on how important it is to get this screening done every year.”

Onset Financial will continue its support throughout the rest of 2021. Onset Gives, the 501(c)(3) philanthropic branch of Onset Financial, will be donating time and money to continue spreading breast cancer awareness. In addition, in December, Onset Financial will host a gala in honor of women diagnosed with breast cancer. At this event, comedian Brian Regan will perform and attendees will have the opportunity to donate to the cause.
