ETNIES HATES BREAST CANCER!
etnies Special-Edition Clothing and Shoes Will Benefit B4BC to Spread Breast Cancer Awareness
Lake Forest, Calif. (Oct. 14, 2009) – Hate is a strong word, but etnies means it when it comes to the fight against breast cancer. Together etnies and Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC), a non-profit, youth-based breast cancer awareness organization, have teamed up for the fourth year to release a special-edition girl’s collection during October, National Breast Cancer Awareness month. In stores now, for each item sold, a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to fund breast cancer awareness and educational programs.
“As a brand that encourages a healthy and active lifestyle for all girls, it is essential for us to take part in organizations that advocate the importance of breast cancer awareness, education, prevention and fun all at the same time,” said Jeff Taylor, etnies brand marketing manager.
etnies has combated its hate with product designed with love, offering a special-edition girl’s Perry Mid sneaker and tee shirt that will be sold online and at select stores nationwide to support the cause. The color pink is the recognized color for breast cancer awareness. Both the B4BC tee shirt and sneaker come in bold shades of pink and feature a heart ribbon graphic that represent the fight and hope for all those involved in the prevention of breast cancer.
SPREAD THE WORD: EARLY DETECTION + ACTIVE LIFESTYLE = BREAST CANCER PREVENTION.
