“The list of past corporate award winners includes industry giants in our region, and we are humbled to join them by winning this award,” said Nate Segall, president of AccuShred.
“But more importantly, we are honored to join our customers and the Komen organization to protect families in our community by making preventative screening accessible to all.”
