TrustBank is proud to have been a Gold Sponsor for the 2011 American Cancer Society Walk & Roll. The May 21st event raised over $75,000 to be used in the battle against cancer.

Approximately 21 teams participated in the annual event. TrustBank sold hot dogs and nacho cheese to help raise money in honor of those who are working together to find a cure for cancer, which is a disease that kills approximately 555,500 Americans each year. (Courtesy American Cancer Society)

According to the "Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, 1973-1998, Featuring Cancers with Recent Increasing Trends" the rate of new cancer cases reported as well as deaths from cancer, declined an average of 1.1% per year between 1992 and 1998. However, some kinds of cancer occurrences are still increasing. (Courtesy American Cancer Society)
