Belk launched BelkGives on the Go Mobile Mammography in partnership with Charlotte Radiology. This mobile mammography center will bring convenient, digital screening and awareness to all Belk markets, with the journey beginning in 113 stores throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee through January 2014.
“Having the BelkGives on the Go Mobile Mammography Center travel to the cities where our associates and customers live and work underscores what we’ve being saying for a long time – awareness and early detection saves lives,” said Jessica Graham, Belk’s vice president of communications and community relations. “We’re excited to take Belk’s fight against breast cancer on the road.”
Belk’s $6 million investment in this program is the company’s single largest charitable contribution to date.
