Atlanta, GA (October 8, 2007) – C-Thru Grips® has debuted a fourth Breast Cancer label design for October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The new design, ‘In The Light,’ is meant to signify the increased awareness among women of all ages through the organizations dedicated to the early detection of this disease.
C-Thru Grips® has been involved with the donation from profits to the National Breast Cancer Foundation for nearly three years with three other designs; the pink ribbon on pink, pink ribbon on white and the pink ribbon print labels.
The issue hits close to home for the company, with one of the employees being a 7-year survivor of the disease.
"I am proud of the continuing involvement of C-Thru Grips® in the battle against Breast Cancer," said Linda Jamison, Director of Operations of C-Thru Grips®. "These awareness and research programs have doubled the percentage of mammograms among women over the past 20 years and deaths from Breast Cancer have declined. I am a firm believer in mammograms and monthly self-exams. I found my cancer early and my wonderful surgeon, Dr. Shenin Sachedina and my oncologist, Dr. David Molthrop, fought my battle back to health with me, and still staunchly monitor my remission. I urge all women to be vigilant regarding their own health and take advantage of the technological advances available to us."
In addition to the donation from sales, C-Thru Grips® is participating in several Susan G. Komen and Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events this month. The C-Thru Grips® European distributor, Happy Ghillmoore, is also participating in two events this month.
