Chameleon once again formed a team for the Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cure in St. Louis. We recruited over 40 participants to run or walk the 5k for Breast Cancer Awareness on Saturday, June 12th, 2010.



Several of our families have been affected by breast cancer, so we are doing our part to support the race for the cure. This is the 4th year that Chameleon has participated in the race.



We are happy to report that this year the Komen Race for the Cure set a record for participants in the walk and race with over 71,000 and raised over $3.35 million.

Chameleon Integrated (CIS) has attained the Oracle Gold Partner Certification. This certification reflects CIS's depth of expertise across Oracle solutions in the US Public Sector (Federal and State Government) while showcasing value-added solutions through specialization. US Public Sector customers can continue to procure  Oracle expertise through CIS while having the added benefit of one-stop shopping for all  Oracle products and packaged applications through a minority, 8(a), and SDB-certified small business.

Chameleon Integrated Services, LLC has been awarded the ISO 9001:2008 certification for their Quality Management System.

This extensive challenge was achieved in six months, which by all opinions, is a great accomplishment in the IT Program and Staffing Industry. Chameleon had many of the processes and procedures and applied stringent quality control standards which made the certification and easier transition. Jeff Kelley, CEO of Chameleon, stated, "We are proud of this award and appreciate all the hard work our staff put into this endeavor." Kelley continued, "We see this certification as a confirmation of Chameleon's commitment to providing superior quality services to our customers."

This certification applies to the Provision of Information Technology Services and continues through 30 September 2012.

Chameleon is proud to support the fight against breast cancer by having participated in the Komen St. Louis Race for the Cure® on June 13, 2009.

This event provides hope to the one in eight women who will be stricken with breast cancer during her lifetime.

The more we raise, the more the St. Louis Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure can give back to fund vital breast cancer education, screening, and treatment programs in our own community, and the more they can support the national search for a cure as a whole.

Most folks haven't heard of Wheelers For The Wounded until now. It is somewhat similar to the Wounded Warrior Project with an emphasis on off-roading. Wheelers for the Wounded (WFTW) is an organization with the goal of providing a weekend of off-roading and camping to our country's wounded military members all over the United States. This will provide them with much deserved fun and excitement as they traverse the most extreme terrain our great country has to offer in a variety of the best off-road capable vehicles ever built. Local events where wounded veterans will be the honored guests are being held all over the country in 2009.

Wheelers For the Wounded is Hummers, Jeeps, Toyotas, built rigs and everything in between. We have set aside our brand differences to focus on our honored guests - America's wounded veterans! Various 4x4 clubs will be hosting WFTW fund raiser events nationwide in an effort to make this event cost-free to wounded veterans.
