iDashboards Partners with the Kroger Company of Michigan and American Cancer Society for Breast Cancer Awareness

iDashboards, a pioneer in developing business intelligence dashboard solutions, announced today that they have partnered with the Kroger Co. of Michigan and the American Cancer Society (ACS) to create a Making Strides Against Breast Cancer dashboard. iDashboards also raised funds and participated in the Making Strides Detroit event on Saturday, October 10 in Hart Plaza. iDashboards Founder and CEO Shadan Malik made the announcement.

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, iDashboards created a unique dashboard to showcase Kroger’s statewide fundraising campaign in Michigan for ACS Making Strides, the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation. The dashboard will display each Kroger store’s progress toward their ultimate goal of raising $600,000 throughout October and November.

“We identified the opportunity to apply our data visualization software to help important charitable causes realize the true value of their data. Our goal for this initiative is to help individuals recognize the need for financial support and showcase Kroger’s admirable efforts to fight breast cancer at a statewide level,” said Malik. “The iDashboards team is energized by the opportunity to join in the battle through fundraising efforts and participation in the Making Strides Detroit event.”

Through the dashboard, users can easily read each Kroger store’s details on their fundraising efforts, specific amounts of money raised in each county throughout southeast Michigan and the top 10 teams that are participating in the event and their amount raised. The dashboard offers visually engaging, easy-to-read, in-depth insight into Kroger’s overall progress toward their goal.

“We have a proud history of giving back to the communities in which we operate. The American Cancer Society Making Strides initiative allows all of our locations throughout the state to participate and make a real difference,” said Brandon Barrow, consumer affairs manager of the Kroger Company of Michigan. “Partnering with iDashboards will allow us to help raise awareness of breast cancer and Kroger’s efforts that help ACS fund groundbreaking breast cancer research.”

iDashboards had a team of 22 employees that walked in the Making Strides Detroit event on Saturday, October 10. The company hosted internal events to raise funds, including a bake sale, loose change drive and Field Day, with a goal of donating $5,000 for the cause.
