2010 Breast Cancer Awareness Walk ■
By Bev Rollins
The sky was cloudy and there was a mist in the air, but the weather did not discourage the Cianbro Team from walking in the 2010 Annual Breast Cancer Awareness walk, which was held October 16th in Pittsfield, Maine. Each year the walk is held to raise funds for breast cancer services and research, and to increase awareness of this devastating disease. The funds stay in the Pittsfield area and are used to pro-
vide services to area women who are battling breast cancer. Over the past year, Sebasticook Valley Hospital provided more than 140 free mammograms at a cost of roughly $25,000. The Cianbro team, along with the SHARE committee, held chili lunches at the equipment area, fab shop and corporate office. Also, a theme raffle and other donations from Cianbro Corporation, family, and friends raised over $1,400. The Cianbro Team came in third place for the largest fundraisers turned in on
MAR Team Puts Community Action in the Forefront ■
By Brenna Frania
Cianbro's Mid-Atlantic Region has put the community first this October. MAR held their second Annual Autumn Food Drive to benefit the Maryland Food Bank during the week of October 25th. Last year, the region collected 400 pounds of food just in time for the holiday season! MAR began supporting the Maryland Food Bank as a “common sense” fit with Cianbro’s Healthy Lifestyle Program. It is important to us that we help our local communities live healthier lives, and Marylanders simply cannot live a healthy lifestyle if they do not have enough food for themselves and their families. Therefore, our goal is to help put food on the table for those who otherwise would have gone without. MAR now holds a food drive in the spring and fall. The Cianbro MAR Team joined more than 20,000 Marylanders in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure walk/run on October 3rd, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month. The Cianbro Team included Brenna Frania, Paul Day, Neeley Stanton, and Jae Park. Online donations to Cianbro’s Team Page were posted in honor of breast cancer survivors or loved ones who had lost the battle to breast cancer. In total, the team donated $680 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. We thank our family, friends, and team members for supporting these worthy causes. 6

Beach to Beacon 10K ■
By Jessica Kandel
It wasn’t the typical crowd of beach-goers lining the scenic coastal streets of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, but rather a different group of people who still required lots of water, towels, and sunglasses. Their goal was to run in the internationally recognized 13th Annual Beach to Beacon 10K road race. Over 6,000 Jessica Kandel and participants from all points of the world, Adam Miller including Cianbro team members Adam Miller, Jessica Kandel and Hank Dunn, started at Crescent Beach and ended the 6.2 mile race at the Portland Head Light. Cianbro would like to congratulate these team members for promoting a healthy lifestyle. The 2010 race benefitted Junior Achievement of Maine, a non-profit organization providing economic education programs which prepare Maine kids for life in a global economy. This year’s event resulted in a $30,000 cash donation by TD Bank, the prime sponsor of the Beach to Beacon road race.
