A Wonderful Place for a Wonderful Cause!

We are happy to report that with our 2015 efforts, Labconco was able to make a donation to Saint Luke’s Foundation for over $2,000!

Labconco’s Kelly Williams, Product Manager, and Diane Williamson, Sr. Application Specialist, met with Jan Kauk, Saint Luke’s Sr. Director of Development, and other members of their staff to present the check.

Saint Luke’s Center for Women’s Care in Northern Kansas City is a very welcoming and valuable place to women in the community. It offers specialized, compassionate care to women of all ages, and provides many types of diagnostic services women need with an emphasis on comprehensive breast health services.

With their caring staff, an onsite radiologist, nurse practitioners and nurse navigators, they support women through every step of the journey, from the screening process through diagnosis and support.

Labconco is so grateful to be able to join this wonderful organization in the fight against breast cancer. For the past 5 years, we’ve made an annual monetary donation to the Saint Luke’s Foundation/Center for Women’s Care, which directs these funds to provide free mammograms to women who are unable to afford them. 

Each year, Labconco holds their Cart for the Cure™ Promotion with our popular Portable Table Cart painted the official Breast Cancer Pink and sold at a discounted price. With each Pink Cart sold, Labconco donates 50 dollars to the Saint Luke’s Foundation for the cause. Labconco also does some internal fundraising and has been a sponsor for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Kansas City for the past five years.

The Saint Luke’s Center for Women’s Care is a wonderful place and Labconco is grateful for them providing a means for us to aid their efforts in the noble fight against breast cancer!
