\u201cWe are privileged to have hosted this event for the BCCR,\u201d Wojtaszek said. \u201cThe BCCR is dedicated to eradicating breast cancer through research and advocacy.  The amount of community outreach that they do is inspiring, holding educational and support events so that members of the Western and Central New York can come together to learn and receive assistance.   As in year\u2019s past, the event here was an overwhelming success.  With the hard work of their staff and ours we are pleased to have raised the highest amount ever for this event.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Breast Cancer Coalition, I am astounded by this tremendous support, which will help us empower survivors in the nine-county region of Western New York, including Genesee County, \u201c said Holly Anderson, President and Executive Director of the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester.  \u201cThough October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, we feel the support from the Batavia Downs community all year long. They entrust their friends and family members to us, assist us in making important connections within their community, and stay in touch with us on an ongoing basis. Breast cancer takes much more than “awareness”. It needs ACTION throughout the year. Our friends and Batavia Downs walk the talk<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
