Advancio, a prominent player in the tech industry committed to innovation and diversity, is gearing up for an exciting initiative this November – ‘Movember,’ a month-long campaign aimed at shedding light on men’s health and the importance of cancer screenings and preventative care.
Why Movember?
“Putting down our razors and letting our beards and mustaches run wild, all in the name of awareness,” says Karim Jernite, Co-Founder of Advancio. The ‘Movember’ campaign is a meaningful endeavor to ignite conversations about men’s cancer and encourage early screenings and preventative measures.
In the tech industry, it’s no secret that the workforce is predominantly male. Advancio is actively working to change this by promoting diversity and inclusion. Yet, it’s vital to recognize the male-dominant industry’s impact on Advancio, its peers, colleagues, partners, and clients.
By participating in ‘Movember,’ Advancio is taking the lead in raising awareness and promoting a culture of proactive health in the tech sector.
A Close-to-Heart Motivation
This cause holds personal significance for Advancio as well. Josie Lopez, Co-Founder of Advancio, lost her father to colon cancer in 2013. His story serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of early screenings and preventative care. This loss is a driving force behind Advancio’s commitment to raising awareness and making a positive change in the realm of men’s health.
What To Expect
Throughout November, Advancio will be engaging in various activities, discussions, and events aimed at raising awareness and funds for men’s health causes. The ‘Movember’ campaign aligns with Advancio’s vision, leading in tech while promoting a diverse and healthy workforce.
Josie Lopez stated,
“Our commitment to ‘Movember’ is a testament to our dedication to diversity, innovation, and social impact. We honor my father’s memory and ensure that no one else suffers a preventable loss.”
