Leonardo DRS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRS) announced today that it will
celebrate its fifth year of sponsoring the “Stick It to Cancer”
fundraiser at the United States Army (AUSA) expo in Washington,
D.C. to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and support
military members and their families dealing with breast cancer.
Leonardo DRS is again partnering with The Henry M. Jackson
Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) to raise
awareness of breast cancer. DRS will donate to HJF to support its
breast cancer programs including the Look Good, Feel Better
program, which gives active and retired military women, men, and
family members affected by breast cancer an improved quality of
life as they undergo and recuperate from cancer treatment.
On Tuesday, October 10th, the Leonardo DRS booth (Located in
Hall A, #1209) will be “Going Pink” to encourage exhibition
participants to join the fundraising effort and recognize friends
and relatives who have battled this disease.
To participate in the “Stick It to Cancer” fundraiser, AUSA show
attendees can pick up a copy of Defense News on Monday, October
9th, with a breast cancer awareness sticker on the front cover. Use
the sticker to write name of a loved one who has been affected by
cancer and place it on the Wall of Heroes at the DRS exhibit during
the show. For every sticker placed on the Wall, DRS will donate $10
dollars to HJF to support breast cancer programs including the Look
Good, Feel Better program, up to $20,000. Show attendees can also
pick up stickers at the DRS booth.
“An individual’s battle with breast cancer can be overwhelming.
But there are resources to help patients faced with the stress of
treatment find hope and encouragement. The Look Good, Feel Better
program is just that,” said HJF President and CEO Dr. Joseph
Caravalho, Jr. “HJF is fortunate to be positioned in a way that
enables us to facilitate the generous donation from Leonardo DRS so
that it goes to those who need it most and helps spread that
feeling of hope.”
“Leonardo DRS has made the men and women of our Armed Services
and their families a primary focus for our corporate social
responsibility campaigns, and it is an honor to continue to partner
with HJF and support their important work,” said Bill Lynn, CEO of
Leonardo DRS. “We are excited to see the continued positive
response for this initiative at AUSA after five years, and it
reminds us just how much of an impact HJF has in the lives of our
military families.”
The Look Good Feel Better program is a non-medical public
service that teaches beauty techniques to people with breast cancer
to help them manage the appearance-related side effects of
treatment. The program includes lessons on skin and nail care,
cosmetics, wigs and turbans, accessories and styling, helping
people with cancer to find some normalcy in a life that is by no
means normal.
