"I am very pleased to be a supporter of this effort and of this great group of employees who gave their time to this cause."

The employees of Tulsa's Maintenance and Engineering Facility donated their time to apply the famous pink ribbon Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast-cancer logos on the Boeing 757.
