mBank ‘Change to make a Change’ benefits Marquette General Cancer Center

mBank of Marquette certainly did its part in making sure the “Pink Experience” was a very successful event.

mBank held a ‘Change to make a Change” challenge at the hockey game, with spectators contributing spare change to either the Northern Michigan University women’s track or men’s basketball teams. When it was all added up, $569.46 was raised at the event, with all proceeds going to the Marquette General Cancer Center for breast health and advocacy.

The “Pink Experience,” a day-long event that included a women’s swimming and diving meet, women’s soccer game, a walk in the Superior Dome and a men’s hockey game, raised approximately $15,000. The Marquette General Foundation partnered with the NMU Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports Department on the event.

Area businesses interested in supporting the campaign are encouraged to call the Foundation at 225-6914 or email mg.foundation@mghs.org.
