National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in honor of all those who have been affected by breast cancer we will be making our October donation to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure non-profit organization.  Susan G. Komen for the Cure is currently the largest breast cancer organization in the United States and we are proud to help support their mission of working to end breast cancer in the U.S.

Please help us raise awareness of breast cancer this October.

Wear Gold

Wear gold this month to show your support and to help raise awareness of Pediatric Cancer!

Support Pediatric Cancer Research

Dell has joined with the Van Andel Institute to help raise $50,000 for Pediatric Cancer Research and you can help!  All you have to do is watch a short video (a little over 2 minutes long) on the Van Andel Institute's website and Dell will donate $1 for every person that watches the video to the Neuroblastoma and Medulloblastoma Translational Research Consortium (NMTRC), a nationwide network of childhood cancer trials based at Van Andel Research Institute and chaired by Dr. Giselle Sholler.

Please take a few minutes out of your day to help raise money for a very worthwhile cause and pass the word along to your friends, family, and colleagues to do the same.  Every dollar counts in this fight!
