Arundel Mills Goes "Mission Pink(R)" With Susan G. Komen (R) To Fight Breast Cancer

Arundel Mills announces national engagement with Susan G. Komen® to support the fight against breast cancer

BALTIMORE, MD (October 8, 2015) – Arundel Mills (Hanover, MD) announced that it will be participating in a national engagement with Susan G. Komen® to support the fight against breast cancer, engaging employees, retailers and shoppers in ‘Mission Pink®’ events throughout the month of October.

“As an active member in this community, Arundel Mills provides an ideal backdrop for raising awareness and encouraging support in finding a cure for breast cancer, a disease we know touches the lives of our employees, retailers and shoppers every year,” said Rocell Viniard, Area Director of Marketing and Business Development at Arundel Mills.

“We are delighted to be working with the dedicated people at Simon,” said Dr. Judy Salerno, Komen President and CEO. “With one case of breast cancer diagnosed every two minutes in the U.S., programs like Simon’s ‘Mission Pink’ play a key role in bringing our mission to people in communities across the country. The support of Simon and their customers will help us fund research, provide support to women, men and families suffering from breast cancer, and move toward a world with no breast cancer.”
