One in eight American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Without a cure in the next 25 years, an estimated 25 million women worldwide will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 10 million could die from it. Because of great improvements in the treatment of breast cancer over the past 20 years, the number of breast cancer survivors continues to rise. There are about 2.5 million survivors alive in the U.S. today. Chances are you know someone who has been affected by it. So we’re very proud to join the cause as agency of record for The Northeast Ohio Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. We’ll be responsible for developing materials to increase awareness and drive more participation for the organization’s largest event, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to be held on Sept. 11, 2010. As the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, Susan G. Komen is working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. We couldn’t be more excited to work with this great cause and look forward to helping expand the awareness of and participation in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® to the greater Cleveland area.

High-fives, victory clasps and elbow bumps. Celebratory gestures have evolved over the years with the fist bump being favored at today’s White House. As we start a new chapter here at Doner we’ve sharpened our focus on hiring and developing the best and brightest employees (sparking thumbs-ups throughout the agency). So we’re happy to welcome Michael Reneau, who joins us as senior VP, general manager, to lead our Canadian offices. We also promoted several people within our Brand Leadership and Media departments and we want to give a shout-out to Jessica Perry, VP, strategic planner; Jessica (Bejin) Tobin, VP, brand leader; Jennifer Quenville, senior VP, strategic leader; Alicia Lingenfelter, VP, associate media director and Suzanne Perry, digital media supervisor. Please give them a handshake (or your favorite friendly gesture) to congratulate them on their new posts.
