Streamlight announced its continued commitment to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) in 2024 with a $20,000 donation to support breast cancer research and prevention. Each year, the company contributes proceeds from sales of specially marked pink lights to BCRF, reflecting the company’s commitment to improve outcomes and save lives for those impacted by breast cancer.
As the largest private funder of breast cancer research worldwide, BCRF recently announced its commitment of $70.3 million to support global breast cancer research in 2024-2025, awarding grants to more than 260 researchers across 15 countries. According to the organization, a woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer every two minutes, with more than 42,000 women and 530 men projected to die from the disease this year alone. Research has significantly improved outcomes, with breast cancer mortality rates down 44 percent since 1989.
“Our support for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation is a cause very close to our hearts,” said Streamlight Chief Revenue Officer Michael F. Dineen. “With survivors among our employees, we are honored to contribute to BCRF’s groundbreaking work. Our pink lights allow us to not only fundraise but also raise awareness for this important cause.”
Streamlight first introduced its line of pink lights in 2008 and has since maintained its dedication to helping BCRF advance research and improve survival rates for those impacted by breast cancer. More about Streamlight’s pink lights and other Lights for a Cause is available online.
