The employees of OKI Data Americas, a printer manufacturer, are proud to support the Lean on Me Breast Cancer Network's Second Annual 5K Walk and Talk Community Event, happening on Saturday, Sept. 27 at Bethpage State Park.

On behalf of the Color Me OKI (www.colormeoki.com) program, the "Twin Sister" 1955 Pink Cadillac will be on display as a Tribute Artist performs at the event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m, while commemorative group photos are provided to all attendees in keepsake frames. The "Twin Sister" is a vintage '55 Cadillac that was restored into an exact replica of the Pink Cadillac that Elvis gave to his mother and the restored Cadillac symbolizes the process women must go through when rebuilding their mind, body and souls after battling breast cancer.

The Lean On Me Breast Cancer Network Inc. was initially established as a New York State non-profit organization in May 2000 by Dr. Dwight De Risi, Donna De Risi, Sharon Pape, Ursula Thall and Gerry Accardo. Its goal is to provide one-on-one peer support for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer by pairing them with volunteer survivors from an individual physician's practice.

To date, the Lean On Me peer support program has trained over 80 volunteers and has helped thousands of patients. Patients and their families now have access to a comprehensive set of resources, free of charge, in order to manage their diagnosis, treatment and recovery. The network also hosts a weekly support group nine months out of the year, biannual education updates, patient information kits, as well as free wig and post-surgical bra and prosthesis fittings.

The Color Me OKI philanthropic program was launched in April of 2007 after the employees of OKI Data Americas voted to adopt breast cancer as the company's leading philanthropic cause. The backbone of the program is the "Twin Sister," a 1955 Pink Cadillac Fleetwood that was personally restored by the company's CEO, Stewart Krentzman and his wife Bonnie. OKI Data Americas decided to pair the vintage vehicle with a Tribute Artist and took the program on the road supporting 21 breast cancer events, while taking photos of attendees and printing them on its digital color printers.
