CAMDEN, N.J., June 1, 2026 /3BL/ – Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) today announced that, in over 10 years of partnership as the largest automotive donor to Blood Cancer United® (formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), Subaru and its retailers will have supported more than 550,000 cancer patients and their families nationwide. Through the Subaru Loves to Care® initiative, the automaker helps provide critical financial assistance, comfort items, and handwritten messages of hope to individuals impacted by blood cancer, reinforcing its broader commitment to being More Than a Car Company®.
Approximately every three minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer. Treatment and recovery can be long and challenging, often leaving patients feeling weak, cold, and isolated. In response, through thoughtful donations and meaningful gestures, Subaru and its retailers aim to bring comfort and encouragement to those living with cancer. During the month of June, they will partner with local hospitals and cancer treatment centers to distribute warm blankets and heartfelt messages of hope, helping patients feel supported, cared for, and not alone.
Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Subaru of America, Inc.: “Year after year, the partnership between Subaru and Blood Cancer United reflects our shared commitment to supporting individuals and families facing cancer and other critical illnesses. Together with our retailers, we’re proud to deliver comfort, care, and encouragement when it’s needed most. This work is deeply meaningful to us, and we remain committed to expanding our impact and continuing these efforts together.”
Through the Blood Cancer United Urgent Need Program, Subaru and select retailers will also provide financial assistance to more than 1,800 pediatric blood cancer patient households (which includes children, adolescents, and young adults) to help offset non-medical costs associated with treatment, such as transportation, food, housing, and utilities. The general public can get involved from June 1 through June 30, 2026, when Subaru will match online donations to bloodcancerunited.org/subaru, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000 in total*. Additionally, Subaru Gear will donate $1 to Blood Cancer United for each “Health & Wellness” Badge of Ownership ordered, up to $5,000 total**, further showcasing the automaker’s mission to uplift those affected by critical illnesses such as cancer.
E. Anders Kolb, M.D., President and CEO of Blood Cancer United: “Treatment and recovery can be incredibly difficult for patients and their families, and this program goes beyond donations to deliver meaningful care and compassion. At its core, this effort is about creating human connections during some of life’s most challenging moments. We are grateful for our continued partnership with Subaru for more than a decade, and we look forward to expanding its impact for patients and their loved ones.”

Key points
For millions of older adults, managing their health now means making sense of apps, online portals, digital forms and telehealth visits. These tools can make care simpler, but only when people feel confident using them.
With more health care happening online, we set out to better understand how seniors are navigating digital health care today. Our research focused on Medicare-eligible adults and included surveys, interviews and group conversations with seniors across different ages, incomes, geographies, health conditions and living situations.
What emerged was a clear picture: digital health literacy – an individual’s ability to access, understand and navigate digital tools to manage their health care – is now a key factor in whether people can access care, understand their options and stay engaged in their health.
Digital health literacy is about more than knowing how to use a smartphone. It includes being able to find reliable health information online, navigate patient portals, feel confident sharing personal data and access the internet and devices needed to do all of the above.
Our research found that most seniors face challenges in at least one of these areas, and often more than one at the same time. Many seniors reported that these digital barriers have a real impact on how well they manage their care.
When digital systems are hard to use, people are more likely to miss appointments, delay medication or struggle to manage their chronic conditions.
Digital health literacy also intersects with other social factors. Seniors with lower incomes, limited access to reliable internet, disabilities or who live alone are more likely to face digital barriers. Without thoughtful design and support, digital transformation can unintentionally widen existing health gaps rather than close them.
“Trust and simplicity of care are critical to improving health outcomes,” said Dr. Ayo Gathing, Senior Medical Director and Deputy Chief Health Engagement & Access Team Officer at CVS Health. “Clear, simple digital experiences paired with the right support can increase trust for the aging population, which boosts engagement and leads to more access. It can make a real difference in helping people stay connected to care.”
Digital literacy in health care isn’t just about technology – it’s about access and understanding.
Low digital health literacy doesn’t mean low motivation to learn. 86% of respondents are open to using digital health tools, and many are eager to improve their skills.
Older adults who face the biggest barriers often want simple, practical support: clear instructions, easy to navigate websites, straightforward login processes and reassurance that their personal information is safe. Many also value having access to real people –whether in person or over the phone – who can help them build confidence and learn at their own pace.
In short, seniors aren’t resistant to digital care. They want digital experiences that respect their needs, preferences and comfort levels.
CVS Health is applying these insights across its digital ecosystem, focusing on experiences that simplify care. This includes clearer navigation, stronger accessibility features, and added transparency around privacy and security.
By designing care around people and pairing digital tools with human support, we’re working to simplify health care and make it easier to use, easier to trust and easier to rely on.
The EmpowHER Team Member resource group for women at Sands’ Las Vegas headquarters has pursued an ambitious slate of programming over the past year, highlighted by a recent series of activities for Women’s History Month, sessions with accomplished women leaders, and global collaboration with TMRGs in Macao and Singapore.
Celebrating Women’s History Month
Taking the opportunity to celebrate and nurture women during the annual observance, EmpowHER’s Women’s History Month activities spanned a diverse slate of offerings and continued through April.
A highlight was the Give to Gain panel discussion in March that spotlighted the unique identities and experiences of women leaders at the company’s corporate headquarters. Panelists included Judy Tomkins, vice president and senior associate general counsel for securities and corporate affairs; Bridgette Harding, corporate accounts payable specialist; Tara Rivera, corporate office manager; Gena Livingston, pastry chef for the Veranda Café at corporate headquarters; and Ky Cunningham, corporate communications specialist. The session was moderated by Katarina Tesarova, chief sustainability officer and executive sponsor of EmpowHER.
The group shared stories about their journeys, examples of resilience, ideas around the delicate balance of work and life, thoughts on inclusion and representation, and words of inspiration for other women, particularly young professionals starting out in their careers.
Other Women’s History Month events in March and April included the Women Talk Money educational series, kick-off of the 2026 mentorship program with a mentoring workshop, a wellness session with a nutritional coach, and a clothing drive benefiting Dress for Success Southern Nevada, Project 150 and Opportunity Village in Las Vegas. The TMRG culminated activities with a volunteer day to sort clothing at Dress for Success Southern Nevada.
Spotlighting Women Leaders
In addition to the amplified events of Women’s History Month, the Las Vegas EmpowHER TMRG hosted two marquee events this past year. The first was a fireside chat with Dr. Miriam Adelson to celebrate International Women’s Day in March. The event marked the first major global collaboration among EmpowHER TMRGs around the world, as the live event in Las Vegas was streamed to Singapore and Macao.
During the inspirational session, Dr. Adelson shared insights and experiences that helped her achieve success throughout the various stages of her journey as a physician, philanthropist and life partner to Sands’ founder Sheldon Adelson.
The corporate TMRG also hosted an inspirational talk with Sandra Douglass Morgan, president of the Las Vegas Raiders, in which she discussed milestones such as being the first Black city attorney in Nevada, serving as chairperson of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, and becoming the first Black and Asian woman to serve as an NFL team president.
Douglass Morgan shared her lifelong motivation to find commonalities that bring people together, her interest in making local government in Nevada work more effectively for communities and her pride in seeing her hometown of Las Vegas prosper with professional sports teams.
Expanding Education and Mentorship
EmpowHER further created global collaboration through a mentorship program that connected corporate mentors with mentees at Marina Bay Sands. The TMRG increased the mentorship program’s value by holding quarterly gatherings and a Human Centered Leadership Workshop for mentees.
Other learning opportunities hosted by the corporate EmpowHER group over the past year have included a Financial 101 session led by Fidelity Investments, succession planning workshops, a strengths-based leadership workshop, and multiple wellness sessions on topics such as gut health, glucose management and mindful holiday celebrations.
Giving Back to the Community
Over the past year, the corporate EmpowHER TMRG has hosted several volunteer efforts, such as supporting Dress for Success Southern Nevada’s annual clothing drive and bi-annual warehouse organization events to augment corporate giving through Sands Cares. EmpowHER volunteers also participated in a walk to raise funds for breast cancer support and a blood drive.
Finally, last summer the EmpowHER supported the corporate campus’ first Community Involvement Fair, which featured an opportunity for Team Members to learn about the missions of and volunteer opportunities with 14 community organizations.
Looking ahead, the corporate EmpowHER TMRG plans to continue global collaboration around shared priorities this year, as well as offer health and wellness workshops and developmental sessions for skills-building. The group also is evaluating external partnerships with industry associations that support developmental goals and nonprofit organizations to explore additional community engagement.
Support for the EmpowHER TMRG for women and their allies is one of Sands’ many workforce development programs. To learn more read the company’s latest ESG report: https://www.sands.com/resources/reports/.

Lieutenant General (Ret.) Michael H. “Mike” Shields built a distinguished 34‑year career in the U.S. Army before bringing his operational insight and strategic leadership to CACI. Today, he serves as senior vice president of Advanced Technology for Mission Adoption, helping accelerate next‑generation technologies that support the nation’s most critical missions.
Since joining the Army in 1985, Shields has served in a wide range of challenging command assignments to include the 3rd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment and most notably the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team in Iraq, which received the Valorous Unit Award for extraordinary heroism in military operations against an armed enemy. The 172nd SBCT was extended during redeployment and served one of the longest combat tours of the war. He later went on to serve as commanding general, United States Army Alaska.
Shields has served in several key strategy and policy positions within the Joint Staff including assistant deputy director for European NATO Russian and African Policy and director of the National Joint Operations and Intelligence Center in the NMCC. In 2010, he was assigned as the deputy director for Operations and Intelligence for the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization. He returned from Afghanistan in 2012 to serve on the Joint Staff as the director of the Pakistan Afghanistan Coordination Cell. His final role in the Department of War was as director of the Joint Improvised‑Threat Defeat Organization (Defense Threat Reduction Agency).
Throughout his military career, Shields worked extensively in joint environments and high‑risk missions, gaining deep expertise in threat analysis, rapid innovation, and operational integration. These experiences shaped his understanding of how emerging technologies can be fielded effectively to support warfighters in dynamic environments.
Shields joined CACI in May 2019. In his role on the strategy team, he supports strategic planning to ensure advanced technologies are aligned to customer mission needs and are successfully integrated into operational use.
Shields was drawn by CACI’s strong heritage supporting intelligence community and defense missions and its growing portfolio of mission‑critical technologies. He recognized CACI’s commitment to developing advanced capabilities that directly support warfighters and national security priorities, an alignment that allowed him to continue his service in a new capacity.
His Army career instilled in him a mission‑first mindset, a deep appreciation for collaboration, and a commitment to delivering capabilities quickly and effectively. His experience directing Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization (JIDO) — an organization tasked with rapid innovation and agile operational support — informs his approach to accelerating technology pipelines, strengthening cross‑functional collaboration, and ensuring solutions are truly mission‑ready.
While transitioning from military to civilian leadership, Shields found CACI’s culture strongly aligned to the values he lived throughout his service. The company’s innovative environment enables Shields and other veterans to leverage their experience, contribute directly to national defense priorities, and help shape the next generation of technology for those in uniform.
From leading soldiers on the ground to guiding national‑level threat‑defeat initiatives and now advancing transformative technologies at CACI, Shields has devoted his career to protecting U.S. warfighters and strengthening national security. His path reflects a lifelong dedication to mission, innovation, and service – values he continues to carry forward every day at CACI.
