School have all joined with corporate and government leaders, including the

advanced a wide range of causes including drug and alcohol addiction and
recovery; women and girls’ empowerment; breast cancer research and advocacy;
preservation of our country’s historic sites; and the critical issues facing
our veterans and military families.
