Tri-Ed/Northern Video Distribution Relays For Life

Tri-Ed / Northern Video Distribution teamed up with GE Interlogix and The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life to show support and honor for cancer survivors.

Irene Tellez, branch manager at Tri-Ed / Northern Video’s Sacramento, CA location, participated in the June 10th and 11th Relay for Life in Citrus Heights, CA. “It raised over $30,000 in funds and the money is still rolling in,” Tellez reports. “This will go a long way to help cancer patients and their families. It truly is a great community event to be a part of.”

The Sacramento branch, together with GE Interlogix, also hosted a purple pancake breakfast on June 8th that honored cancer survivors. “Many customers had stories to share of their experience with cancer, either their own or that of a loved one,” Tellez says. “It was an inspirational kick-off to the Relay event.”
