Huge shoutout to IDEA LAB hosted by Net Impact Club:

Net Impact hosted their annual conference, IdeaLab with the theme: "So You Made a Climate Pledge, Now What?" Over 150 local professionals, students, faculty, scientists, and experts of their field descended on PACCAR Hall to learn about the behind-the-scenes work being done to ensure that companies are able to honor their stated climate goals. Speakers included senior leadership from Microsoft, Amazon, Puget Sound Energy, E8 Ventures, The Hartman Group, and many others who shared fantastic insights, lessons, and unforeseen challenges their organizations have experienced in their journey to Net Zero.

For the thousands of people diagnosed every year with life-threatening blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, a cure exists. Over the past 30 years Be The Match, operated by the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), has managed the most diverse marrow registry in the world. They work every day to save lives through transplant.

We encourage anyone who is able to sign up for the registry during the drive. There is a need for more diverse donors to meet the need of the many different patients affected by blood cancers. Foster's very own Doug Beach donated bone marrow through Be The Match in 2013 to someone who needed the donation to survive. This is an incredible opportunity to potentially save a life. BE LIKE DOUG!

is coming to PACCAR Hall Garvey Family Atrium (floor 2 right outside of Deloitte Commons) on Tuesday, April 19th 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM & Wednesday, April 20th 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM
