October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month at THE GYM

Events raise funds for Bergen County’s Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation

THE GYM, a complete lifestyle and fitness center, is honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month with fundraising events at its two Bergen County locations. Efforts are directed toward raising awareness and much needed donations for the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation, a local charity that funds breakthrough research to support the discovery of promising new treatments for patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), as well as programs and services benefitting patients with TNBC.  Triple negative tumors generally do not respond to receptor-targeted treatment, can be particularly aggressive, and are more likely to recur than other subtypes of breast cancer. 

“We are thrilled and honored to be the recipient of THE GYM’s generous fundraising campaign this October.  Proceeds will help the foundation to pursue its mission on behalf of the many women battling triple negative disease,” said Hayley Dinerman, Acting Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation.

THE GYM of Englewood has scheduled a series of fundraising events, including :
