Buche Food team members have proven once again they can bring their “A” game when it comes to raising funds for a good cause. “I’m humbled and very fortunate to work with such a good group of people that truly goes above and beyond to meet our expectations” stated RF Buche, President of GF Buche Company.

The goal was to exceed last year’s record. Team members throughout the company came up with an idea last year to raise additional money. For every day that team members wore their “We Support” Cancer Awareness Shirts along with “Blue Jeans,” they paid $1 to the fund. Previous years the team wore pink shirts but this year we wanted them to know we support all types of cancer so designed a new look for our shirts worn during the month of October.

“The total dollar amount raised came to $10,722.27 and $9,045.04 was last year’s total,” according to Jody Kotab, GF Buche Co Administration Manager, who organized the event. This year Mr. Buche had to complete a challenge. If the goal was met of raising money over last years’ total then he would have to wear a pink flamingo costume in each of our stores.

Since the fund started, 76 cancer patients have been helped. 100% of the profit being donated to the relief fund will help defray some travel and medical expenses incurred by Buche Foods customers that are battling any type of Cancer. “If we can help someone in the local community with some of the financial pressure, then it makes it all worthwhile” stated RF Buche.
