Lifting the spirits of those facing breast cancer takes many forms. Whether it's being a devoted caretaker, or just being there with a smile, we all have roles to play in the fight for a cure.
At Delta, we've launched several ongoing initiatives that—along with the combined support of our millions of customers—have added up to a groundswell of support for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Since 2005, Delta employees and customers have raised a total of $3.5 million for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. More importantly, that's 13 fully-funded research projects as of October of 2011. And that's only the beginning.
On October 3 this year, Delta also will be sending our signature Pink Plane—a Boeing 767-400—on our annual "Breast Cancer One" charter between Atlanta and Detroit. It's our way of kicking off a full month of awareness building and fund raising that help bring us closer to the cure.
