At Red Dog Media, teammate giving isn’t just encouraged—it’s celebrated. One inspiring example comes from Heather, a Q3 2024 Core Value Chip winner, who chose Swim Across America as the recipient of her charitable donation.
This nonprofit is dedicated to funding innovative cancer research and patient care programs through charity swim events across the country. Since 1987, Swim Across America has raised over $100 million for cancer research, making a real difference in the lives of patients and families.
Teammate Giving: Why Heather Chose Swim Across America
Heather’s connection to Swim Across America is both personal and powerful. She is a dedicated long-distance swimmer and the daughter of a two-time breast cancer survivor. For her, this organization perfectly reflects her passion for swimming and her commitment to helping find a cure for cancer.
Heather shared that this donation is incredibly meaningful to me. It combines two things close to my heart—supporting cancer research and the sport I love.
Her choice exemplifies the spirit of teammate giving—driven by empathy, purpose, and a desire to make an impact.
