18 Octubre 2023 - 6:00AM
Arvinas, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARVN), a clinical-stage biotechnology
company creating a new class of drugs based on targeted protein
degradation, today announced that nearly 200 employees participated
in the Company’s second annual “Arvinas Impact Day,” a company-wide
community service day benefiting organizations in the Greater New
Haven area.
"'Arvinas Impact Day' is a reflection of our
company's unwavering dedication to community. It’s inspiring to see
both local and remote colleagues transcend geographical boundaries
to serve our community with passion and purpose,” said John
Houston, Ph.D., chairperson, chief executive officer, and president
at Arvinas. “Together, we’ve contributed to the expansion of
important greater New Haven and youth science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM) initiatives while exemplifying
Arvinas’ core value of community and our shared commitment to
making a difference.”
Employees rolled up their sleeves and, through
their collective efforts, helped make facility and grounds
enhancements at a local non-profit organization, beautified the
local environment with garbage pickup and clearing invasive
species; prepared meals to be served to members of the New Haven
Community; served as role models in a local school, helping to
positively impact young people’s perceptions about the importance
of education; and created STEM kits to be provided to foster youth
across the country.
More specifically, Arvinas employees impacted the
community through the following efforts:
- Friends of East Rock Park: 25 Arvinas team
members worked in East Rock Park to de-vine trees of an invasive
species, nurture saplings, and remove trash. Friends of East Rock
Park is a community and environmental advocacy group that
encourages neighbors to meet each other, celebrate the environment,
and become stewards of the park.
- Foster Love STEM Kits: Nearly 60 remote
colleagues created STEM kits to be provided to foster youth across
the country. Foster Love is a non-profit organization dedicated to
transforming the way youth navigate through the foster care system
in America.
- Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen (DESK): DESK’s
mission is to serve people experiencing homelessness or living in
poverty by providing food assistance and services that promote
health, community, and equity. Eight Arvinas volunteers prepared
meals to be served to members of the Greater New Haven
community.
- Boys & Girls Club of Greater New Haven:
Over 20 members of Arvinas worked to enhance indoor and outdoor
facilities. The Boys & Girls Club of Greater New Haven aims to
“enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to
reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible
citizens”.
- Junior Achievement (JA-in-a-Day) In-Classroom Education
Program: Arvinas volunteers worked alongside teachers in
elementary grades educating more than 250 students in eight classes
at the ACES Wintergreen Interdistrict Magnet school, which inspires
learning through teaching about financial literacy, careers, and
entrepreneurship.
- Save the Sound Beach & Park Cleanups: Over
70 Arvinas team members gathered at New Haven’s Long Wharf Beach
and Lighthouse Point Park to join Save the Sound, a regional
non-profit organization, whose mission is to protect and improve
the land, air, and water of Connecticut and the Long Island Sound
region through legal and scientific expertise and by bringing
people together to achieve results that benefit the environment for
current and future generations. Arvinas volunteers spent nearly
four hours collecting 3,369 items and more than 268 pounds of
trash.
“This day is a testament to the importance of
giving back, aligning with our core values, and fostering a
stronger, more inclusive community,” added Houston. “It is through
our collective efforts that we can positively impact the lives of
others and inspire change."
About Arvinas
Arvinas is a clinical-stage biotechnology company
dedicated to improving the lives of patients suffering from
debilitating and life-threatening diseases through the discovery,
development, and commercialization of therapies that degrade
disease-causing proteins. Arvinas uses its proprietary PROTAC®
Discovery Engine platform to engineer proteolysis targeting
chimeras, or PROTAC targeted protein degraders, that are designed
to harness the body’s own natural protein disposal system to
selectively and efficiently degrade and remove disease-causing
proteins. In addition to its robust preclinical pipeline of PROTAC
protein degraders against validated and “undruggable” targets, the
company has three investigational clinical-stage programs:
bavdegalutamide and ARV-766 for the treatment of men with
metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer; and vepdegestrant
(ARV-471) for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or
