Whether you are a survivor, advocate, community organizer or co-survivor, cancer affects all of us. Recently, the South Bend, Indiana (SBN) Maintenance team participated in a fundraising event for Hello Gorgeous of Hope Inc., a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting women across the country who are battling cancer. This event was the foundation’s largest fundraiser to date.

“This event means so much to me,” said Penny M., parts manager. “I loved that our SBN MX Team had a chance to participate. It’s incredible to see our people come together to support such a meaningful cause.”

Hello Gorgeous provides professional makeovers, wigs, and educational resources to women undergoing cancer treatment, helping restore confidence and dignity during a difficult time. Penny has supported the organization for years, and her passion continues to inspire others.

Along with raising awareness for those battling cancer, this event also qualifies for SkyWest’s SOS: Our People in Action program. Through this unique program, SkyWest will donate to non-profit events and causes that are important to our people. A donation was made on behalf of each SkyWest employee who participated in the Hello Gorgeous golf event, on top of the money already raised by the team.

“I’m proud of the way our team shows up,” Penny added. “It’s not just about playing golf, it’s about making a real impact in the lives of women who need to know they’re not alone.”

SkyWest remains committed to supporting the fight against cancer and encourages everyone to find ways to get involved. Whether through volunteering, fundraising, or simply sharing your story, every effort counts. We’re proud of the SkyWest people who generously gave their time and money to play golf in support of women fighting cancer.
