Pan-American International Insurance Corporation Building Radiates Pink Glow on Eve of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

On the eve of the official start of Breast Cancer Awareness month, the Pan-American International Insurance Corporation building radiated a brilliant pink glow.

On Saturday evening, their Cheapside, St Michael, location came alive with this vibrant hue after a brief ceremony. This display not only symbolised the spirit of resilience, hope, and unity in the global fight against breast cancer but also highlighted the organisation’s unwavering commitment to this cause.

General Manager Michael Lucas extended a warm welcome before introducing the featured speaker, Agency Manager and cancer survivor Gloria King-Kirton. She began by acknowledging the strength and tenacity of countless individuals who have been touched by breast cancer, whether as survivors, caregivers, or advocates.

“Each one of us, including myself, is a testament to the power of courage, determination, and the relentless pursuit of a better, healthier future,” King-Kirton said.

In her address, she underscored the significance of illuminating the building, emphasising, “It serves as a reminder that by coming together as a community, we can empower, educate, and inspire change.”

She encouraged attendees to support local cancer awareness groups and serve as advocates and sources of inspiration for others to do the same.

King-Kirton, who had passionately supported the cause before her own diagnosis, shared her personal journey of battling and triumphing over cancer, offering powerful inspiration to those gathered. She recounted, “Two years ago, I was not only diagnosed with breast cancer but had a double mastectomy, which I was not prepared for either mentally or emotionally.”

Through her emotional testimony, she emphasised the importance of a dedicated support network during challenging times. She stated, “Today, I stand as a testimony of what community means. It is the community that provided the support, praise, and encouragement during those difficult times.”

Special gratitude was expressed to the company for their steadfast support.

She said, “It was Pan American International Insurance Corporation who provided all my financial needs through our very own unique benefits, including cancer care designed specifically for this cause. Tonight, I am immensely proud of the Pan American Life Insurance team for their dedication to this cause.”
