June is CMO Club Cares month, which means we are showcasing CMOs who use their time and talent to make a positive impact for the worthy causes they care about most! In addition, for each new CMO Club membership during the month of June, we are donating up to $1,000 to the member’s charity of choice. The CMO Club has a diverse membership of CMOs in a variety of industries, with different backgrounds and passions. Here are just some of our CMO Club members and the causes they care about most:
- Manny Rodriguez, Chief Marketing & Experience Officer, UCHealth – “as a leukemia survivor my favorite charity and cause is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.”

My company became a corporate sponsor about 1 1/2 years ago – we created a Make-A-Wish milkshake flavor with wish kids, posted them on social media and had our fans vote, and then launched the winner as a limited time item. I also personally have been involved with MAW walks, the cable car pull in San Fran and other fund-raising events. What a great way to put a smile on a sick child’s face!
