New Bedford, MA, USA, July 2, 2018– Fiber Optic Center, Inc., (FOC), an international leading distributor specializing in helping their customers make the best cable assemblies in the world, announces sponsorship of FOC 10-4 campaign to support #5MillionSteps for kids fighting cancer.
Over the next few months, FOC will cover steps, mountains, and four New England states. The journey began with a young boy named Cole Stoddard, continued with the dedication of his father, Tony, and now is being carried on this summer by a group of people supporting Tony during a time when he cannot make the physical steps. One person in that group is FOC Director of Strategic Marketing’s son, Kelly Skelton. Kelly has also been a marketing contractor for special projects at FOC over the years and is considered a part of the FOC family.
