S-5! is extending its tradition of community care beyond the roofline, reaffirming its commitment to supporting breast cancer patients and their families in Colorado Springs. Through donations, volunteer service, and awareness efforts, the company continues to partner with the Woody and Millie Ingram Guest House—providing comfort, connection, and hope to those facing critical health challenges.

This year, S-5! contributed $5,000, joined by another $8,000 donation from the Haddock Family Foundation to support the Guest House, which provides affordable lodging for patients undergoing critical treatment at the nearby St. Francis Hospital’s cancer center. The facility—located just minutes from S-5!’s headquarters—relies entirely on community contributions to provide a comforting home away from home for families facing medical challenges, including cancer, surgeries and NICU stays.

In addition to the financial support, S-5! team members recently volunteered to prepare and serve dinner to patients and their loved ones, offering a warm meal and a moment of relief during their healthcare journeys.

“The families staying at the Guest House are going through some of the most difficult times in their lives,” said Vicky Smith, director of human resources at S-5! “Providing a meal and a bit of comfort can go a long way in showing them they’re not alone.”

As part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), S-5!’s corporate office staff and Texas manufacturing plant employees will also participate in their Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Walk—a company-wide event organized to promote awareness, honor survivors and inspire continued support for cancer research and patient care. NBCAM, observed every October, is a global initiative to raise awareness and generate funds for breast cancer research, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and potential cures.
