Cardinal Bank (NASDAQ: CFNL) announced today that the Cardinal Bank Community Fund has awarded $5,000 to the Prevent Cancer Foundation. The mission of the Alexandria-based organization is to save lives through cancer prevention and early detection, and it has provided more than $130 million to support cancer prevention, early detection research, education, advocacy, and community outreach nationwide.

Cardinal President Kevin Reynolds and Senior Vice President Sheila Yosufy presented the check to Prevent Cancer Foundation President and Founder, Carolyn Aldigé.

"I can't think of a single person whose life has not been touched, in some way, by cancer," said F. Kevin Reynolds, President, Cardinal Bank. "It is our honor to partner with the Prevent Cancer Foundation, to help them continue their important work of both advocacy and support. It is our sincere hope that this grant contributes in some way to advances in prevention, detection, and treatment of breast cancer and pediatric cancer through the combined efforts of medical research and technology."
