Granite Telecommunications Launches Second Annual Fundraiser for Breast Cancer Research
Granite Telecommunications is set to host its second annual "Granite Gives Pink" event on Thursday, October 22, with the ambitious goal of raising over $500,000 for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

During this year's event, Granite Telecommunications will contribute $250 for every employee adorned in pink. The day promises to be filled with activities aimed at spreading awareness and fostering community spirit.

This latest initiative not only aims to raise funds but also to galvanize employees and the broader community around a cause that affects many people personally.

"Nearly everyone has someone in their life who has been touched by breast cancer.

Granite Telecommunications, a $1.8 billion technology and communications company, has philanthropy embedded in its culture. Under the leadership of CEO Rob Hale, the organization has contributed in excess of $400 million to various charitable endeavors spanning cancer research, healthcare, education, and community development. This commitment to philanthropy has earned Granite the recognition as one of Massachusetts' most charitable companies, continuously making impactful contributions to the society in which it operates.
In collaboration with BCRF, an organization founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, Granite aims to be at the forefront of breast cancer research. The BCRF is globally highlighted as the largest private funder for breast cancer research, focusing on advancing preventative measures and treatment methodologies. The foundation's mission aligns with Granite's goals, creating a strong partnership that underpins their fundraising efforts.
"Research is the key to stopping it in its tracks," states the BCRF. Their approach includes investments into top scientific minds to confront all facets of breast cancer—from initial prevention through to advanced stages like metastasis.
As Granite prepares for this monumental event, they invite the media to cover the outcomes and provide insights into the company's lengthy philanthropic journey. While the event remains closed to general public attendance, media representatives are encouraged to contact the company for press access.
