From pink-themed walks and fundraising events to a new merchandise initiative, CSC colleagues around the world came together to make a difference during Breast Cancer Awareness Month

CSC Goes Pink started three years ago as a simple request for colleagues to wear pink and share photos. Since then, it’s grown into a global celebration of compassion, generosity, and community for breast cancer awareness.
This October’s activities brought colleagues together across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC to raise breast cancer awareness, support research, and make a difference throughout the month.
For Colleen Mulligan, global program manager of CSC Gives Back, the campaign's growth has been especially rewarding. "It's really great to see it evolve from a very small social media campaign to the level where folks are getting involved and participating," she says.
This year, approximately 31 offices organized activities, with additional colleagues participating independently and sharing photos from locations around the world.
One of the biggest additions to CSC Goes Pink in 2026 is a merchandise fundraiser spearheaded by Data Qualification Team colleagues Nick Elder and Daria Allin, with support from Lauren Johnson in Marketing.
The idea was to give colleagues something they could wear to show their support while raising money for breast cancer research, which had an immediate response. More than 200 shirts sold during the first week, and merchandise sales at CSC's Delaware offices topped $3,000.
T-shirts, hoodies, and other items were available through CSC’s online merchandise store, with a portion of proceeds benefiting a breast cancer research nonprofit. CSC Gives Back matched the amount raised, doubling the contribution. “I thought selling merchandise would be a good way to show off our brand and show that CSC cares,” Daria says. “There are so many people who have been affected by breast cancer, and I felt like it would be a huge hit within the offices. I knew people would want to buy shirts if they knew it was for a good cause.”
Colleen credits the initiative's success to the colleagues who helped bring it to life. "Nick and Daria reached out asking how they can get the CSC Gives Back champions involved. With Lauren’s help, the team rallied the champions to participate, be creative, and get office involved," she says. CSC Gives Back champions are advocates for the company’s philanthropic efforts around the world.
For Nick, the effort reflects his belief in the power of individual contributions. "There are little things that you can do that don't take much effort but can make a big difference in somebody else's life," he says.
Local champions have played an important role in expanding CSC Goes Pink, organizing activities that bring colleagues together while supporting the cause. In London, KYC specialist Muna Kulow helped coordinate a pink-themed run and walk that attracted approximately 20 participants and raised £130. Merchandise sales generated another £800, while a lunchtime discussion provided an opportunity to share personal experiences and promote breast-health awareness.
Muna leads health and well-being initiatives within the London office, and she considered it a privilege to be asked to lead the effort. “I thought it would be great to get involved and raise awareness so more women would get screened and prioritize their health.”
In Hong Kong, senior manager of Fund Services Winnie Chu organized a 3.5-kilometer walk at Victoria Peak. Approximately 15 colleagues, family members, and friends signed up to participate in support of the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation. "It’s very meaningful," Winnie says of the opportunity to give back to the community. “CSC Gives Back gives us a way to donate to good causes and contribute to society.”
Elsewhere around the world, colleagues organized bake sales, Pilates classes, group walks, and other activities. Offices in Luxembourg, the United Arab Emirates, and San Diego participated in breast cancer awareness runs, with CSC supporting registration costs to encourage participation.
In Delaware, approximately 40 colleagues gathered outdoors to form a giant pink ribbon, captured in an aerial photograph taken by a drone. In Dublin and Gorey in Ireland, colleagues organized bake sales featuring pink-themed treats. Colleen says the enthusiasm of local champions has helped transform the campaign into a truly global effort.
Beyond the fundraising totals and colorful photographs, CSC Goes Pink reflects something fundamental about the company's culture—a willingness to support colleagues, families, and communities. "It shows we’re an organization of caring individuals who want to give back in many different ways," Colleen says.
She believes the campaign resonates because so many people have been touched by cancer, whether personally or through someone they know. When colleagues participate, she explains, they're doing more than supporting charitable organizations. They're also demonstrating care for the people they work with every day.
And as CSC Goes Pink grows, individual and group actions add up to something much bigger, reflecting CSC's commitment to making our communities better off tomorrow than they are today.
