S-5! proudly reaffirms its commitment to the community by supporting breast cancer patients and their families in Colorado Springs, Colo. As part of its ongoing philanthropic efforts, S-5! continues its partnership with the Woody and Millie Ingram Guest House, providing both financial support and hands-on volunteer service.
This year, S-5! contributed $5,000, joined by another $8,000 donation from the Haddock Family Foundation to support the Guest House, which provides affordable lodging for patients undergoing critical treatment at the nearby St. Francis Hospital’s cancer center. The facility—located just minutes from S-5!’s headquarters—relies entirely on community contributions to provide a comforting home away from home for families facing medical challenges, including cancer, surgeries and NICU stays.
In addition to the financial support, S-5! team members recently volunteered to prepare and serve dinner to patients and their loved ones, offering a warm meal and a moment of relief during their health-care journeys.
“The families staying at the Guest House are going through some of the most difficult times in their lives,” said Vicky Smith, Director of Human Resources at S-5! “Providing a meal and a bit of comfort can go a long way in showing them they’re not alone.”
As part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), both S-5!’s corporate office staff and Texas manufacturing plant employees will also participate in their Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk—a company-wide event organized to promote awareness, honor survivors and inspire continued support for cancer research and patient care.
S-5!, the leading authority on metal roof attachment solutions, invites industry peers and community members to join them in supporting this important cause. Donations can be made via S-5!’s dedicated fundraising platform: https://info.s-5.com/help-us-in-the-battle-against-breast-cancer.
NBCAM, observed every October, is a global initiative to raise awareness and generate funds for breast cancer research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and potential cures.
