This year's award celebrates the collaborative efforts of ACS
and Sleep Number, bringing together sleep science and technology,
community well-being, and patient support through innovative
initiatives spanning both organizations to support the ACS vision
of ending cancer as we know it, for everyone, by addressing the
interconnected needs of individuals across the sleep and cancer
care continuum. These initiatives include:
- Integrating Sleep Number’s proprietary sleep data into cancer
research;
- Engaging communities in cancer prevention and screening through
partnership with the NFL-supported Crucial Catch campaign as well
as with The Defender, presented by Sleep Number;
- Enhancing the sleep experiences of cancer patients and
caregivers at American Cancer Society Hope Lodge® communities
nationwide;
- Team member engagements like community volunteering and Fit2Be
Cancer Free.
“The American Cancer Society’s partnership with Sleep Number
truly embodies an innovative collaboration where sleep science,
community well-being, and cancer care intersect to improve the
lives of cancer patients and families,” said Michael Neal, Chief of
Organizational Advancement, American Cancer Society. “We are so
proud and grateful to work with such an amazing partner and
leverage the unique strengths of each organization to help end
cancer as we know it, for everyone.”
The partnership extends beyond traditional boundaries,
resonating with diverse audiences, including communities
disproportionately affected by cancer and those facing
sleep-related challenges. Sleep Number and the American Cancer
Society's collaborative efforts set an innovative standard for
corporate social responsibility, demonstrating the power of
intersectionality in addressing complex social issues.
“We're tremendously proud to receive the Golden Halo for our
accomplishments with American Cancer Society,” said Shelly Ibach,
Chair, President and CEO, Sleep Number. “Our collaboration resulted
in groundbreaking research, expanding our reach and impact at the
intersection of well-being, sleep, and cancer care. Cancer affects
everyone and resonates deeply with all Sleep Number stakeholders.
Integrating ACS into our sleep science and prevention initiatives,
as well as with partners like the NFL, means we’re attacking cancer
from many angles. Our partnership with ACS supports Sleep Number’s
purpose – to improve the health and wellbeing of society through
higher quality sleep – as we fight this horrendous disease.”
