As National Breast Cancer Awareness Month ends, we would like to recognize and thank our wonderful team of coworkers that came out to participate and celebrate breast cancer survivors and thrivers during the American Cancer Society’s “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” walks that took place this October in many locations across the country.
While LKQ was one of the main event sponsors for the walks in Chicago (see Midwest Region section), Nashville, and Dallas/Fort Worth, we had many more team members, their friends, and families join in on walks in their area – from ATK, KAO, Keystone, Elitek, NAHQ, and Corporate, LKQ was well-represented! We had 129 participants across 13 LKQ teams participate in MSABC events. LKQ Austin is scheduled for its event this Sunday.
Together with the initial $30,000 contribution provided by the LKQ Community Foundation, LKQ contributed $35,488 to help support breast cancer awareness, research, support, and education which affects nearly 300,000 women and 3,000 men in the United States annually.
We are LKQ Proud! to support Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and thrilled about the difference that our team members and their families are making to save lives from breast cancer.
