The one-mile walk has been a tradition for LSL for more than 30 years. The company’s founder and president, Karen Thompson, and her team are dedicated to supporting the local community through various philanthropic events each year.

“The Walk Pink Event is one of the first fundraisers I put together for the company. Breast cancer has touched many families within our community, making it especially important to myself and my team during breast cancer awareness month to raise funding for the cause,” Thompson noted.
