Winmark Homes’ Jenkins, Williamson participate in breast cancer walk

ATLANTA – Two of Winmark Homes’ employees vowed to find a cure for breast cancer when they participated in the Atlanta 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer Sept. 29 and 30. Winmark’s President Michelle Jenkins and Vice President of Land Acquisition Tara Williamson walked 30 miles throughout Atlanta and raised more than $3,000 to help fight breast cancer. 

   “At Winmark Homes, we encourage all our employees to give back to the community that has helped our company grow throughout the years,” said Michelle Jenkins, President of Winmark Homes. “This year, I’m honored to participate in the Atlanta 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer with my friend and colleague Tara Williamson. We are passionate about finding a cure for breast cancer, and hope that the money we raise could help change someone’s life in Atlanta.” 

   The Atlanta 2-Day Walk for Breast Cancer, also known as the Atlanta Breast Cancer Challenge, raises money and awareness for local breast cancer organizations that focus on education, research, early detection and support services. Since its inception four years ago, the Atlanta 2-Day Walk has raised $2.6 million and awarded 65 grants to local organizations.
