Did you know that 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime? And in 2021 alone, an estimated 281,550 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the U.S.
This disease affects women and men across the country, including in the communities that Allied serves. That’s why we’re proud to have become a partner of Susan G. Komen®, the world’s leading breast cancer organization, this year.
Allied is more than just a moving company — our dedication to giving back is embedded in our company DNA. We’re committed to caring for the communities we serve, and we know breast cancer is an important health issue that affects so many of us.
Next month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign that began in 1985 as a way to raise awareness about breast cancer. As October draws closer, we’re eager to continue engaging our agents to help in the fight against breast cancer.
“Allied is deeply committed to Susan G. Komen’s mission to save lives by meeting the most critical needs in our communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer,” said Lesli Bertoli, Vice President of Moving Services for SIRVA. “Our main goal is to continue creating positive experiences for our moving customers and to make an impact in Allied’s national and local communities to truly understand the significance of the Susan G. Komen vision.”
Earlier this year, we donated $40,000 to help us move toward a cure, and we have a goal of raising $75,000 in support of women facing breast cancer by March 31, 2022. By mobilizing our national network, we want to raise awareness as well as funds for Komen’s breakthrough research, advocacy and patient care services. And we hope you’ll join us in moving toward a cure!
Anyone can donate to Susan G. Komen through Allied, and we would love your support — especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Your contribution makes a difference by helping fund breakthrough breast cancer research and ensuring people facing breast cancer have access to the care they need today.
Together, we can invest in a better future, provide hope and help those fighting breast cancer keep moving. Learn more and donate today.
