"Swagelok continues to invest in our community and the causes that matter to our associates," said Hannah Delis, Chief Human Resources Officer and executive sponsor of the Swagelok Women's Network. "Breast cancer hits home for our team members and their friends and family. This was an opportunity to put our full support behind an organization working to help those impacted families."

For nearly two decades, Swagelok has supported the annual Komen walk with growing participation from its associates. The company's Women's Network organized a team of nearly 90 associates and family members, culminating in the largest collective donation in Northeast Ohio this year. Additional efforts included "Dunk-A-Supervisor" fundraising events across multiple locations and hosting a survivor's panel where Swagelok associates volunteered to share their personal connections to breast cancer.

"The generous support of Swagelok means that more funds can go to research that brings us closer to the cures for breast cancer and patient programs. This year's Walk and the work we do every day is made possible by Swagelok's ongoing partnership," said Sean Shacklett, Executive Director, Ohio & Michigan Susan G. Komen.
