Valdosta GA Main Post Office decorated in pink

For the past three years, the Valdosta GA Main Post Office has festively decorated its retail lobby in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

Not only is the retail area decorated but when a customer purchases a sheet of Breast Cancer Stamps,  the customer can enter to win a “Breast Cancer Goodie Bag”. 

This year’s bag (a reuseable Breast Cancer bag) contained pink items including a pair of socks, scarf, stuffed monkey, lotion, hand soap, knitted cap and a discount card to local area businesses.

With 30 entries, the drawing was held on Monday, November 4th at the MPO. 

The elated winner was customer Jerry Mack.  Mr. Mack bought Breast Cancer stamps in support of his daughter, Kolonda Washington. 

Ms. Washington, in her 20s, is battling several medical challenges but continues to maintain a very upbeat and positive attitude while being actively involved with her church’s youth and children.

What an awesome initiative!  Hats off to all of the employees at Valdosta Main Post Office.  What a great team!
