Donations From Excel Physical Therapy Benefit Pink Bandana, Lydia House

Excel Physical Therapy (www.excelpt.com) is pleased to announce the success of their Breast Cancer Month fundraiser to support Pink Bandana and record-setting donation from this year’s Channel 94.1 Diaper Drive benefitting Lydia House.

In October, each Excel employee paid $10 for a pink Excel t-shirt and an additional $10 to wear jeans each Friday during the month. After collecting $1,530, Excel’s owners matched that amount for a total of $3,060 that was donated to Pink Bandana. Pink Bandana is a local breast cancer non-profit whose mission is to increase awareness and help young women affected by breast cancer financially. The organization sponsors several sporting events including its signature July mud volleyball tournament in Prague, Nebraska that attracts over 250 teams.

Each year for the past 14 years, Excel’s clinics collect diapers from their patients and team members in November and December. After the collection, Excel’s owners match that amount. This year, the Excel team collected a record 26,609 diapers and after their owner’s match, a total of 53,218 diapers were donated to the Lydia House. They beat their previous record by over 20,000 diapers! Excel would like to thank all their patients and friends who helped make this life-changing collection possible for the Lydia House.
