For a decade Bluebonnet has been lighting its member service centers pink and finding other ways — like pink hard hats — to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
This October marks a decade since Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative began working to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the communities it serves.
To bring attention to the cause, Bluebonnet has illuminated its five member service centers in pink, field crews have put on pink hard hats, service trucks have sported pink ribbon decals and employees have been wearing pink shirts on select days.
This month, members are encouraged to come to a member service center drive-through – in Bastrop, Brenham, Giddings, Lockhart or Manor – during business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, to pick up a self-exam reminder card and a fabric pink ribbon pin to support the cause.
