Leonardo DRS Marks Seventh Year of "Going Pink" at AUSA to Support Military Families Facing Breast Cancer
Leonardo DRS, Inc. (NASDAQ:DRS) announced today it will mark its seventh year of supporting the "Stick It to Cancer" fundraiser at the 2025 AUSA Annual Meeting & Exposition in Washington, D.C., recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month and supporting military members and families affected by breast cancer.
As part of this ongoing initiative, Leonardo DRS will again collaborate with The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc. (HJF) to raise awareness, fund research, and support programs. This year's donation will benefit the Look Good Feel Better program and educational efforts at the Murtha Cancer Center Research Program (MCCRP), which enhances the patient experience for active-duty and retired service members and their families.
On Tuesday, October 14th, the DRS booth (Hall A, Booth #703) will "Go Pink" to honor those affected by breast cancer and encourage AUSA attendees to participate in the fundraiser. Visitors can pick up a special edition of Defense News on Monday, October 13th, featuring a breast cancer awareness sticker. Attendees are invited to write the name of a loved one impacted by cancer and place the sticker on the Wall of Heroes at the DRS exhibit. For every sticker placed, Leonardo DRS will donate $5 to HJF, up to $20,000. Stickers will also be available at the booth.
"We are extremely grateful to Leonardo DRS for its generous support over the years. These donations further MCCRP's efforts to improve the military's cancer patients' experience through survivorship programs like ‘Look Good Feel Better,'" said Dr. Joseph Caravalho, Jr., President and CEO of HJF. "I couldn't be prouder of our partnership with Leonardo DRS in this regard."
"Supporting the health and well-being of military families is a core part of our corporate mission, and we're proud to continue this important partnership with HJF," said Bill Lynn, CEO of Leonardo DRS. "After seven years, we are all still moved and inspired by the outpouring of support for this cause."
The Look Good Feel Better program is a non-medical public service that helps individuals manage the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment. It provides lessons in skincare, cosmetics, wigs, and styling to help those affected regain confidence and a sense of normalcy during treatment and recovery.
