Jim Ellis Kia of Kennesaw is proud to contribute $5,000 toward breast cancer awareness and patient care, following the dealership’s October Breast Cancer Campaign. The funds were divided equally between Loving Arms Cancer Outreach and the Wellstar Foundation and will go directly to breast cancer survivors, patients and their family members.

Throughout the month of October, Jim Ellis Kia of Kennesaw engaged its customers in efforts to raise awareness about breast cancer. The campaign was part of the dealership’s ongoing commitment to supporting meaningful causes in the community it serves. To wrap up this initiative, the dealership hosted two check presentations with the organizations.

Their support helps us lift the financial burden for local cancer patients so they can focus on what matters most — healing.

Loving Arms Cancer Outreach offers emotional and financial support services to cancer patients throughout the region, helping individuals navigate treatment and recovery with compassion and dignity.
