Breast Cancer Awareness

Breast Cancer Awareness isn’t just for October. Bulldog Kia began supporting the Piedmont Breast Health Center and the Loran Smith Center in Athens in 2023. Through this experience, we saw first-hand how great the need for assistance is in our community. In 2023, we provided 25 gift baskets to patients of Dr. Eva Moore and the Piedmont Breast Health Center. In those baskets were items to help the patients know we are thinking of them and their needs as they undergo treatment. This was such a success that we’ve decided to continue supporting them throughout the year and not just in October.

If you are looking for a place to donate to Breast Cancer Awareness and to patients undergoing treatment in our area, check out the Loran Smith Center by clicking HERE or the Piedmont Breast Health Center by clicking HERE. Piedmont Hospital in Athens in a non-profit and your contributions are truly making a difference in the lives of their patients.
