Smart Circle and the FW1 Pink Promotion Update

March was a huge milestone for Smart Circle giving as it marked the 3 year anniversary of our partnership with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The BCRF is the world's largest private backer of breast cancer research and Smart Circle is a proud sponsor of the organization through the creation of the FW1 Pink Promotion program. 
As of March, Smart Circle International has raised an astounding $5.5 million to help fund important research in the fight against breast cancer. Money raised helps create research opportunities for improving the quality of life for those diagnosed as well as funding the research of new life-saving treatments. 
In a thank you letter written to Smart Circle and RGS Labs, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation was quoted saying, "[The] BCRF is inspired by companies like Smart Circle and RGS - companies that can take a simple program, build on its platform, and effectively make a difference in the face of women's health - not to mention in such a short timeframe, this gift truly speaks to the company's overall support of lifesaving research." The letter goes on to read saying, "Together, you all continue to enable our talented investigators the opportunity to unravel the mysteries of breast cancer without interruption."
How awesome it is to know that we have been part of such an important initiative. Smart Circle could not be more proud of our partners at RGS Labs and the FW1 Pink Promotion.

Smart Circle and Orangewood Shelter

Smart Circle firmly believes that it is our responsibility as a company and its employees to give back to the community in which we work. As part of a company wide initiative, we have taken it upon ourselves to volunteer at the Orangewood Children and Family Center. This is Orange County's only emergency shelter for neglected and sexually, physically, or emotionally abused children. Each year that the shelter has been around, there have been over one thousand children who have been removed from hostile living situations and placed under protective custody.

Since 2014, Smart Circle has not only spent time volunteering at Orangewood as  group, but also provides support for the start of the new school year by way of backpacks and school supplies. The opportunity has become a tradition at Smart Circle and we look forward to not just supporting the kids at the start of the school year, but also when we visit about once every quarter.

The group at Smart Circle has enjoyed playing all types of games, making crafts, coloring, and simply hanging out with the kids so they have someone to talk with. Each time we have gone it has been well worth the effort. Children are the future and these kids need any love and support they can get. We look froward to continued visits at Orangewood as the Smart Circle team in Newport Beach hope to make a positive change in our community.
