WWD featured CAC's Beauty of Giving Luncheon held on Thursday, June 13th honoring Arthur Sadoun, CEO of Publicis Groupe and founder of the Working with Cancer Pledge. 

Sadoun launched the Working with Cancer Pledge after he was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. The pledge has been signed by more than 1,700 companies who promise to build more “open, supportive and recovery-forward work cultures.”  CAC’s executive director Rebecca V. Nellis spoke of the importance of supportive employers saying, “We know that the presence of survivors in the workforce, and a focus on employee health and caregiver needs, makes for an environment that is better for everyone.”

The luncheon also featured Anica Malabanan who works for Publicis Media and was diagnosed just after Working With Cancer launched. She said, “I want everyone facing a cancer diagnosis to know what it feels like to have the level of support that I’ve had from my family and my work, because it brings courage and so much hope.”
