Tax Commissioner S. Wade McCord Helping Raise Money for Breast Cancer Education, Screening, and Treatment

Staff Report From Middle Georgia CEO

Friday, January 17th, 2020

Macon-Bibb County Tax Commissioner S. Wade McCord is spearheading an initiative to assist the Georgia Center for Oncology Research and Education, Inc. (Georgia CORE), which uses the proceeds of the sale of the Breast Cancer License Plate to help women in need get screened or treated for breast cancer.

The Office throughout the year will include an insert in Motor Vehicle renewal notices encouraging people to support this effort. While other offices around the state are supporting this initiative by hanging fliers and posters in their office, McCord wanted to reach out directly to people.

“We’ve done a great job in expanding our services and making it easier to renew tags here in Macon-Bibb, from kiosks in Kroger to our efficient drive-through services,” says McCord. “That means, though, that people don’t have to come in our office. With these inserts, we can reach every vehicle owner in the county and show them how important their support of CORE can be.”
