October is breast cancer awareness month! In years past, Chong Yi, producing branch manager of The Yi Team Mortgage, could be found helping promote the Making Strides Walk for American Cancer Society around DC’s Tidal Basin. Chong Wears Pink is not only the easy to remember website, it is also the color Chong wears proudly for the month of October.
Chong is a Real Men Wear Pink Candidate supporting American Cancer Society. This year his fundraiser will be supported by The Yi Team’s newest campaign, Mortgage On A Mission in addition to an online drawing.
A Drawing To Raise Funds
This year there will be a drawing for one lucky winner to receive $1000 towards their mortgage payment! If you’d like to enter, just hop onto Chong’s fundraising page and donate $100 to American Cancer Society. The drawing winner will be announced at the end of October.
What Is Mortgage On A Mission?
Every month The Yi Team Mortgage donates 1% to charities they love. That’s what they call Mortgage On A Mission. For every loan that The Yi Team Mortgage closes, they’re able to make an even bigger impact on causes. This month their donation will go to American Cancer Society.
It’s exciting to know that for every well structured home loan borrowers receive, The Yi Team Mortgage is able to donate 1% to causes who need their help!
If you’d like to help Chong meet his goals for the Real Men Wear Pink and American Cancer Society, you can donate to www.chongwearspink.com. Thank you!

Why We Wear Pink – Jen’s Story – A personal story from our teammate Jen Hansel
We wear pink for our families, our friends and our fighters. Together we’ve raised over $ for breast cancer research, treatment to access and patient support services – and we’re just getting started.
