October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and our team wanted to shine a light on an important cause in a way that felt both meaningful and fun. Inspired by the viral β€œGet those puppies checked!” meme, we added our own playful twist β€” complete with pink balloons, big smiles, and our favorite four-legged coworker joining in the fun!

At Victorian Finance, we know that being part of the community means more than helping with mortgages β€” it means showing up for the people who make our neighborhoods special. Breast cancer touches countless lives every year, including many close to our hearts.

Our team photo may bring a few laughs, but the message behind it is serious: early detection saves lives. A simple reminder to schedule your screenings or encourage your loved ones to do the same can truly make a difference.

The laughter and teamwork during our β€œphoto shoot” reminded us that spreading awareness doesn’t always have to be heavy β€” sometimes, a lighthearted moment can help the message reach even further.

This month, let’s all do our part to raise awareness and support those affected by breast cancer:

πŸ’— Book your mammogram or remind a friend to schedule theirs.
πŸŽ—οΈ Support local organizations that fund research and patient care.
🐾 Wear pink and share your own awareness photos β€” we’d love to see them! Tag @mortgage.king on Instagram or @john.grimaldi.2025 on Facebook!

Together, we can inspire hope, encourage action, and make a difference β€” one pink balloon (and one happy pup) at a time. πŸ’•
