84 Lumber announces breast cancer awareness initiatives

For the seventh year in a row 84 Lumber is raising awareness for breast cancer throughout the month of October. 

Each year, the company changes its iconic 84 logo to pink on all social media platforms and donates to various charitable organizations along with additional actions to support the cause.

Today, 84 Lumber announced its 2022 initiatives for this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“84 Lumber is committed to spreading awareness and donating to breast cancer research across our stores, team headquarters, and social media channels,” said Amy Smiley, vice president of marketing. “Being a women-owned company, spreading awareness has been a key focus for us and we will continue to lend support for many years to come.”

84 Lumber is bringing awareness to breast cancer this month through the following actions:  

• Donating a total of $40,000 to a number of charities, by partaking in a “Donation of the Week,” where the company commits to $10,000 a week to various charities, including: Clea Shearer Foundation, David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation, Pink Ribbon Girls, and Hair Peace. 
• The company also will be distributing gift boxes to send to patients and supporters through the Washington Healthcare System. Gifts will include an assortment of crewnecks, tumblers, Kendra Scott jewelry and more.
• 84 Lumber is sharing breast cancer awareness messages on select billboards across Pittsburgh for the entire month.

“This is a disease that touches many inside and outside of our 84 Lumber family, and we are dedicated to partnering with organizations committed to supporting breast cancer awareness,” said Smiley.
