S-5! announced its new fundraising initiative dedicated to supporting breast cancer patients in the regions where the company operates. This effort is part of S-5!’s ongoing commitment to giving back.

In addition to a $5,000 donation to advance breast cancer care, S-5! is spearheading a fundraising campaign to benefit two exceptional organizations: the Woody and Millie Ingram Guest House in Colorado Springs, Colo. and the Careity Foundation in Fort Worth, Texas.

The Woody and Millie Ingram Guest House, located on the St. Francis Hospital campus just minutes from the S-5! corporate office, provides essential lodging for families of patients undergoing treatment and operates entirely through donations and community support.

Similarly, the Careity Foundation, southeast of the S-5! Texas manufacturing plant delivers crucial financial and emotional support directly to cancer patients and their families. It also offers resources for prevention and wellness programs, collaborating closely with a network of physicians at The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders Medical Group.

During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, S-5! invites industry peers and community members to join in supporting these important causes. Contributions can be made through purchasing a specially designed S-5! “Give Cancer the Boot” T-shirt or by direct donations to these causes via S-5!’s fundraising platform.

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an internationally recognized campaign held every October to raise awareness about breast cancer and generate funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.

“By purchasing our 'Give Cancer the Boot!' T-shirts, you’re not only showcasing a symbol of hope but also actively supporting two remarkable breast cancer organizations,” said Vicky Smith, S-5! director of human resources. “Every T-shirt sold supports their essential work in research, patient support and awareness. Alternatively, direct donations are welcome.

“Whether you choose to buy a T-shirt, make a donation, or both, your support is crucial in making a meaningful impact in the battle against breast cancer. Together, we can make a difference.”
