The 2009 Shining Star is Larree Renda and the Safeway Foundation, Video
The 2009 Shining Star is Larree Renda and the Safeway Foundation, a major funder of breast cancer research.
Larree Renda oversees retail strategy, labor relations, public affairs, government relations, health initiatives, human resources, industrial engineering, re-engineering and communications for one of the largest food and drug retailers in North America and on of the largest employers in California. Renda serves as chairwoman of the board for the Safeway Foundation, which contributed more than $248 million in 2008 to import causes, including hunger relief, education, cancer research and people with disabilities.
In 2008, thanks to the leadership and support of Renda, the Safeway Foundation raised more than $18.6 million for breast cancer research and prevention programs during its annual October fundraising campaign at its stores throughout the U.S. and Canada. The foundation donated the funds to more than a dozen cancer centers with reputations for conducting leading-edge breast cancer research.
Understanding that breast cancer is a major health threat to women, Renda has inspired Safeway and all its employees to work together t fund the research that will ultimately find a cure or ways to prevent the disease. The business experience and dedication that Renda brings to Safeway’s fundraising campaign inspires Safeway employees and vendor partners to exceed their goals.
