The Komen Race for the Cure Series raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivorship, and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease.
The Ivie Iowa office is walking in the race this year to do just that. We have survivors within our office, and we have loved ones that we have stood by through their fight. On Saturday, June 14th there will be 33 adults and 3 children walking with our group.
If you are interested in making a donation to Susan G. Komen for the Cure please visit their Donation website. Or you can also visit their Promise Shop to purchase gift items. Fifty to 80 percent of the purchase price of all gift items sold funds research and community outreach programs that support our promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever.

Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis Walk
Dave McCaskey in our Prepress department in Flower Mound will be participating in the Great Strides Cystic Fibrosis Walk at Six Flags on Sunday, June 8th. His daughter is a nurse in the Cystic Fibrosis department at Cook Children's Hopsital so he will be participating with other staff from the hospital.
If you would like to make a donation to the team please visit their website. For more information about Cystic Fibrosis visit their website at www.cff.org.
In the 1950s, few children with cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, with much thanks to fundraising efforts like Great Strides, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF.

Relay for Life - Fundraising Plans
Ivie has about 18 associates plus their family & friends participating in an American Cancer Society Relay for Life event in Carrollton, TX on My 30th.
We will have a couple of things going on over the next couple weeks to raise money and awareness for this cause.
Department Penny Wars
Thursday, May 22nd to Thursday May 29th, All Day, Upstairs Lobby
There will be water jugs set up in the upstairs lobby for each department to drop their pennies into. The department with the most points wins, BUT there’s a catch. Pennies are worth positive points, but each silver coin is worth negative points so you can spoil other department’s efforts by dropping silver coins into their jugs.
Celebrate & Remember Banners
Week of May 27th, All Day, Upstairs Lobby
There will be 2 banners posted in the lobby. One banner will be to celebrate those who have survived cancer and the other will be to remember those that have been lost to the disease. This is an opportunity for us to honor our loved ones that have been affected by this disease, so please take a few minutes to add the name of anyone you know. We will hang these banners at our campsite when we get to the event next Friday.
A Pat On The Back
Tuesday, May 27th and Thursday, May 29th, 11:30 to 1pm, Blue Room
During lunch we will have a table setup in the blue room where you can purchase a “Pat On The Back” for fellow Ivie associates. You will have the opportunity to write a personal note if you’d like, which will be attached to small gift for the person you are recognizing. We should have more information on this fundraiser late this week.
