This week, employees across our Austin, Hoffman Estates, and Blue Ash offices, along with teammates joining virtually, came together for Pink Breakfast, an annual event hosted by our CDK Impact Teams in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Pink Breakfast was a meaningful reminder of the impact we can make when we show up for one another.

We're grateful to our friends at The Pink Agenda for helping make this year's event both inspiring and educational, and for the important work they do to support those affected by breast cancer.
