Party in Pink 5K Walk/Run

Party in Pink 5K Walk/Run Party in Pink is celebrating ten years! Show how Hope Runs Pink on Friday, June 17, 2022, at Riverside Park, Vinton, IA. No application is necessary.

Hosted by VGH Healthcare Foundation & the Breast Cancer Survivors of Benton County. Proceeds from this event go to the Gifts of Hope Fund at Virginia Gay Hospital. Gifts of Hope is a fund created to provide free mammograms and diagnostic services to those who need financial assistance. It will pay for a clinic visit, testing, and diagnostic analysis of those tests to determine next steps, as well

as Pap tests and/or pelvic exams. Funds are meant for people who have no insurance; have a health insurance policy that does not pay for these services; and those who cannot pay deductible or co-insurance amounts. The Rick Murphy family has donated money to the Foundation for 14 years to help fight cancer, especially breast cancer, from the proceeds of the Murphy Memorial Golf Tournament. In addition to donating to the Foundation, they also donate to the VGH Charity Care fund to help people who need financial assistance with their medical bills. The Benton County Survivor Group has become instrumental over the past several years in raising funds through their various activities, primarily the Party in Pink 5k race held in June. Through dedicated effort and strong leadership, they have become a real fundraising force in the fight against breast cancer. They got their start when the girls' basketball coaches and team, during the 2009-2010 season, decided to honor breast cancer survivors and raise funds for a Coaches against Cancer game. The money was donated to the Foundation and the momentum for the Gifts of Hope has grown from there.

This NCPW, let’s talk about impersonation scams

It's National Consumer Protection Week

Spot and impersonator scams ftc.gov/scams

Join the conversation: ftc.gov/NCPW

It’s National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW) 2023, and it couldn’t come at a better time. The FTC’s recently released top frauds of 2022 have impersonation scams at #1 again. So, this NCPW, let’s talk with friends, family, and neighbors about spotting and avoiding these impersonation scams.

These scams are designed to be hard to spot: it looks like an email from your bank, logo, and all. But logos are easily faked. That call has the right caller ID. But technology makes phone numbers easy to fake. Here are some ways to know what’s real and what’s fake:

What did they ask you for? Your bank has your account (and Social Security) number — it will not call or email you to get that information. And nobody legitimate will ever get in touch to demand access to your computer. No matter who they say they are, anyone who demands information or access like this is a scammer.

Did they tell you to pay? The government doesn’t demand money by email, text, phone call, or message on social media. Honest businesses don’t, either. If someone does, you know it’s a scam.

How did they tell you to pay? Nobody legitimate — really: nobody — will ever demand that you pay with cryptocurrency, by wiring money through a company like MoneyGram or Western Union, or by putting money on a gift card. Who will? Scammers.
Did they threaten you? Honest businesses won’t say you’ll be arrested, deported, or lose your license unless you pay. Neither will the government. If someone does, you know it’s a scammer.

Both research and experience say that talking about scams is one of the best ways to avoid them. So, this NCPW, ask yourself these questions when you get that out-of-the-blue message. Then tell someone about the scam you just spotted. And then tell the FTC: ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
