Renewal by Andersen and the American Cancer Society

In 2018, the Renewal by Andersen network was galvanized by a cancer diagnosis for one of our most beloved long-term leaders. In a show of support, the network partnered with The American Cancer Society (ACS) for our first Wear Pink; Save Lives campaign--a successful October event that was repeated (and built upon) the following year.

The campaigns were so rewarding and touched so many people, that what initially had begun as a single event had blossomed into a year-round partnership. Since our first kickoff in 2018, the entire Renewal by Andersen network--our teammates and employees all across the country--have jumped in with both feet to help ACS in their fight to attack cancer from every angle, to date, 

There have been car washes and bake sales and crazy sock days. Care packages sent to cancer patients and their families. More than a hundred windows installed at several different Hope Lodge facilities—with more projects coming up. More than 5 million dollars raised.

Cancer truly touches us all--one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. A truly staggering statistic, it underscores why the American Cancer Society's work improving the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support is so critical.

That's also why now, more than ever we are proud to be supporters of The American Cancer Society, and are pleased to be "United Against Cancer" once again--and we look forward to seeing how our more than 100 locations across North America come together to support the cause.

This year, we are setting our October goal at $500,000. (Want to contribute? You can help us help the ACS in the fight against cancer here: www.RenewalCares.com) It is a big goal, but when you consider that almost all of us will be somehow touched by a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, you realize this is not just about supporting the ACS, it is also about pulling together for our friends, our family, our teammates, and ourselves. 

“The ACS's fight against cancer is not a single effort,” says Troy Barrow, President of Renewal by Andersen. "It's funding research and education campaigns. It's Hope Lodges providing cancer patients getting treatment a home-away-from-home where they can stay for no cost. It's about saving lives--and celebrating lives. The best way to fight cancer is to attack it from every angle and that’s what we want to help the American Cancer Society do.”

He continues, “We're proud to watch our employees across the country contribute their time, talent, and resources to the causes that mean the most to them. Cancer is so personal to many of the families at Renewal by Andersen…being able to support a cause like this, on a scale like this, is powerful. Making a difference has always been at the heart of our values, and it’s a tradition we will carry on for years to come.”

This is more than a fundraiser; it’s a movement rooted in hope, unity, and action.

And while our goal is to raise $500,000...our mission goes deeper: to honor every story, uplift every fighter, and stand together in the belief that change is possible.

Let’s unite. Let’s inspire. Let’s make a lasting impact.
