"Melanoma Awareness" Fundraising Pledge Campaign
Vee-Jay Cement Contracting Company, Inc. and OUR M.O.M. Inc. are partnering to educate the AGC of St. Louis member companies on Melanoma through a "Melanoma Awareness" Fundraising Pledge Campaign May 26th - June 22nd. We will culminate our campaign with an "Informational Stand-down" on Melanoma for registered companies on their individual jobsites June 22nd.
Melanoma is a deadly form of skin cancer and many construction workers have suffered horribly from this terrible disease because of their constant exposure to the sun. We owe it to our employees to have the proper education on the risks associated with Melanoma. More importantly, we as AGC of St. Louis Members ultimately need to take responsibility in assisting with the prevention and detection of this disease against our workers.
Our goal is to raise $10,000.00 over the next four weeks to assist in the prevention, detection and cure of Melanoma. We are asking for your support in helping us make this goal a reality. Together, we can make a tremendous contribution in helping to win the fight against Melanoma.
