Valley National Bank to Recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month by Hosting Fourth Annual Breast Cancer Walk


WAYNE, N.J. – Monday, September 17, 2012 – Valley National Bank announced that it will be hosting its fourth annual breast cancer walk titled Valley Goes Pink! This event will take place at 1460 Valley Road in Wayne, New Jersey on Saturday, October 6th (rain date, Sunday, October 7th) and will raise money for the Cure Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF).  The CBCF supports the Research Department at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center under the direction of Larry Norton, M.D, Deputy Physician-in-Chief for Breast Cancer Programs and the Medical Director of the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center. Over the past three years, Valley has raised more than $300,000 in support of Dr. Norton’s research.  This year’s event will feature games, prize drawings, a 50/50 raffle and free food and beverages.  New York’s most popular television and radio weather expert, Mr. “G.” will also be on hand to support the event. 


“Last year’s event was a tremendous success.  We were overwhelmed by the outpouring number of volunteers and donations from within the Valley family and by the generous contributions from our neighbors,” remarked Valley’s Chairman, President and CEO, Gerald H. Lipkin. “More than $100,000 was raised last year and we hope to raise more money for this worthy cause this year.”
