Cushman & Wakefield NJ participates in “Movember” to combat cancer
with more than 1,000 groups – from Fortune 500 corporate squads to small private teams, and is well on its way to their fundraising goal of $7,500. “The response has been incred- ible,” Brzozowski said. “More than half the male brokers based at our East Ruther- ford office are participating. And our co-workers, clients, families and friends have been incredibly generous.” Prostate cancer is currently the number-one cause of can- cer-related death in men in the United Kingdom, and the number-two cause of can- cer-related death in men in the United States. “Everyone knows someone who has been touched in some way by these diseases,” Brzozowski said. “Testicular cancer is unique in that it attacks men as young as 20 years old. Some of our own Cushman & Wakefield co-workers are survivors. This good-natured competition ben- efits every man who is facing – or may face – one of these conditions.” n
