BLUEBONNET SUPPORTS BATTLE AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER

  

Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative’s employees, buildings and vehicles are displaying gold during September to support the fight against childhood cancer. This is the seventh year that Bluebonnet has promoted Childhood Cancer Awareness Month by illuminating its member service centers in Bastrop, Brenham, Giddings, Lockhart and Manor in gold light. Bluebonnet’s member service representatives will wear and hand out gold-ribbon pins, and Bluebonnet crew vehicles will display gold-ribbon decals.

“Cancer is such a horrible disease for anyone to endure, but especially children,” said Matt Bentke, Bluebonnet’s general manager. “Nearly everyone knows a family who has been touched by childhood cancer. The stories of children courageously fighting for their lives is inspiration for all of us to support this important cause.”

There are many resources available to support the fight against childhood cancer. For more information about how you can support the cause, visit bluebonnet.coop/childhood-cancer. There, you’ll find links to the American Cancer Society at cancer.org, the American Childhood Cancer Organization at acco.org and several other organizations that provide help and support for families battling childhood cancer.
