Holland America Line hosted a celebratory luncheon aboard ms Westerdam Saturday, May 18, 2013, at the Port of Seattle in honor of the American Cancer Society’s 100th birthday. Following the themed luncheon, attendees were invited to a presentation in the ship’s lounge by Holland America Line and American Cancer Society executives, followed by a ship tour.
“We were honored to host this milestone luncheon for the American Cancer Society,” said Stein Kruse, president and CEO of Holland America Line. “Having entered into a more comprehensive partnership with the American Cancer Society this year, we’re proud to support an organization that touches so many lives around the world.”
Kruse is a member of the American Cancer Society’s “CEOs Against Cancer” program and the line raises funds through its “On Deck for a Cause” shipboard giving program, which benefits six international cancer organizations. On Deck for a Cause invites guests to participate in a noncompetitive 5k fundraising walk on every sailing aboard each of the line’s 15 ships, with proceeds distributed among the American Cancer Society, Canadian Cancer Society, Cancer Council Australia, Cancer Research UK, Deutsche Krebshilfe (German Cancer Aid) and KWF Kankerbestrijding (Dutch Cancer Society).
