2. Introduction
 Outside of his role as Balance Innovations’ vice
president for business development, Gary Rixson
supports the American Cancer Society (ACS). By
coincidence, Gary Rixson’s favorite football team, the
Kansas City Chiefs, also supports the ACS and was
recognized in May 2016 by the nonprofit for raising
breast cancer awareness among Kansas City
residents.
Programs supported by the ACS and the Chiefs
include the “A Crucial Catch and Look and Feel
Better” campaign, which advises individuals with
breast cancer on how to fend for themselves
physically and mentally during their period of
treatment.

3. American Cancer Society
Award
 In the last three years, ACS and the Chiefs
have awarded local clinics CHANGE grants to
increase access to cancer screenings
throughout Kansas City. CHANGE grants are
given to local clinics nationwide to reach
women who are underserved with low-cost or
free breast cancer screenings.
These grants have helped hundreds of women
in Kansas City receive proper care through
health screenings that otherwise would not
have been afforded to them.
