The LightSources Group Supports Susan G. Komen for the Cure®



The LightSources group is committed to making the world a better place and social involvement is a fundamental part of our corporate culture.  With that goal in mind we pro-actively develop greener technologies and implement sustainable business practices as well as dedicate time and resources to raising money and awareness for social causes.  

One of the charities LightSources is proud to support is Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the global leader in the fight against breast cancer serving over 60 countries worldwide. Komen, along with their corporate sponsors, raise money in a host of ways.  From direct giving, employee engagement and volunteerism as well as many different fundraising events a movement has been created to fight this devastating disease. 

Whether you are a golfer, a bowler, a chef or a runner, there is a Komen event you can participate in. Join others in raising funds to fight this battle, celebrate survivorship and honor those that have lost their lives to breast cancer.   At least 80 cents of every dollar raised is spent on mission programs, including 20-25 cents on research. 

In the U.S., breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in woman aged 20-59.  But with the help of science, education, and support to those facing the disease, the morality rate has decreased by 37% from 1990 to 2013.  Komen has been a big part of this – since 1982 they have funded more than $889 million in research and $1.95 billion in medical care, education and support – helping millions to become breast cancer survivors. 

At LightSources we know that by supporting Komen, we are helping our mothers, sisters, grandmothers, friends – and every woman who has ever touched our lives.
