While I'm not much of one for flagging press releases, here's one that's much too noteworthy not to mention. Bally Technologies is making a dollar-for-dollar match of employee contributions to the Nevada Cancer Institute. In return, Bally staffers get early detection and cancer-prevention assistance from NVCI.
Philanthropy has been taking it on the chin during the recession, which makes Bally's initiative doubly important. On a personal note, having had a loved one go through breast cancer (including multiple surgeries), I cannot stress heavily enough the importance of early vigilance, nor that of having a good support system in place if you're unfortunate enough to be a cancer sufferer.
Bravo, Bally.
