thank You for
Flying with US
Our Commitment to a Great Cause
Gwen and Doug Parker
★
During your travels with us today, and
throughout the month of October, you
might notice US Airways employees wearing pink
shirts, scarves, or ties. They’re showing their support for a cause that’s close to the hearts of many:
Finding a cure for breast cancer.
A few years ago, our employees told us that
they wanted our airline to support breast cancer
US Airways employees raised more than $200,000 last year for the
American cancer Society’s Making Strides Against breast cancer
program through the be PINK campaign.

research in a visible way. So last year US Airways
added color for a cause and started BE PINK,
our campaign in partnership with the American
Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast
Cancer (MSABC) program.
The response was tremendous.
Employees from throughout the US Airways
network came together to raise more than
$200,000 to help find a cure for breast cancer
through pink uniform and merchandise sales
and donations. They formed teams and marched
at MSABC walks in our hub cities of Philadelphia,
Phoenix, Washington, DC, and Charlotte. They
talked about how breast cancer has affected their
families and friends, and they shared their own
stories of survival with their colleagues.
Many of our employees who are wearing pink
or participating in an MSABC walk this month
are showing their support for a loved one fighting
cancer. One of those employees is flight attendant
Bryan Rohwer, whose wife, Brenda, also a
US Airways flight attendant, was diagnosed with
breast cancer last year. Thankfully, Brenda is
on the road to recovery, and Bryan says that the
support of the couple’s colleagues provided critical
help for their family during their time of need.
You can learn more about Brenda and Bryan’s story
and how US Airways employees are flying together
to fight against breast cancer on page 62.
Breast cancer research and support programs
have come a long way because of generous donations and the hard work of the American Cancer
Society, which celebrates its 100th anniversary
this year. Until we find a cure, we’ll continue to
lace up our shoes, walk for the cure, and donate
to the cause. To learn more or sign up for a walk
in your area, visit makingstrides.acsevents.org.
From the 32,000 members of our US Airways
family to yours, thank you for flying with us today.
We hope to see you on another flight (or at an
MSABC walk) soon.
Doug Parker
Chairman and CEO
