Local 710 Member Organizes ‘Pink Cupcakes’ to Raise Money for Breast Cancer Research
Teamster Candi Herrera at Readerlink Helps Earn More Than $1,000
Candi Herrera at ReaderLink
Teamsters Local 710 and Teamsters Joint Council 25 Women’s Committee member Candi Herrera helped to organize nearly 30 of her ReaderLink co-workers and their families to participate in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in October.
The team, named the “Pink Cupcakes,” collectively raised more than $1,000 for the charitable event.
To add to the fun, Herrera had T-shirts made for participants emblazoned with the team’s logo and set up a kickoff pizza party the day before the event.
Sister Herrera did a fantastic job organizing our team and making this a memorable experience. I had a lot of fun participating myself and encouraging others to join in on this great cause. Candi is a great example of what it means to be a Teamster both on and off the job.
