Oneida Healthcare dances for chance at $10,000 prize

ONEIDA — Nearly 200 employees of Oneida Healthcare recently donned pink gloves and danced their hearts out for the fight against breast cancer in a fun and unique way to support breast cancer research.

Dancers include area physicians, nurses, radiology technologists and several other OHC staff members.

The video, featuring many departments and facilities within the OHC Circle of Care, has been entered in the Medline Pink Glove Video Competition. If OHC wins the contest, it receives $10,000 towards the breast cancer charity of their choice. Oneida Healthcare has chosen the Carol M. Baldwin Research Fund, a local charity, to be the recipients of the prize. The Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund, Inc. supports both new and established researchers investigating the causes, prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

The winner of the national contest is based on votes and people can go to Oneida Healthcare’s Facebook Page at facebook.com/oneidahealth or pinkglovedance.com to vote now through midnight Friday, Nov. 2. Voters are required to log in using their Facebook page in order to vote.

The OHC Pink Glove Video already has nearly 2,000 views.
