Pink Podium
Anita Care, a division of Anita International, partnered with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation to design and develop a limited edition Pink Bra for post mastectomy patients. Anita International is a family-owned body wear and medical product company for care after breast surgery based out of Germany and is represented in 19 countries worldwide. Anita Care Manager Andrea Barbera says proceeds for this global initiative go to women in Africa who can’t afford or aren’t exposed to mammograms. On Oct. 16, Anita Care presented a $35,000 check at the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure for funds raised from Pink Bra purchases.
The Zebra Pen Corporation created a clip-on pink ribbon retractable pen in efforts to support breast cancer awareness and will donate a percentage of the sales to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The easily refillable pen is made from 70 percent post-consumer waste materials. With both black and pink ink, the pen clips on and can serve as a pin when placed in your shirt pocket. Visit the Zebra Pen Corporation’s website or find a pen at major office supply retailers.
Amplivox Sound Systems is using its product to ‘speak up’ about breast cancer awareness. The Chicago-area company manufactures and sells portable sound systems, lecterns and podiums. Amplivox developed a campaign specifically for this cause. The company’s ‘Pink Podium Promise’ includes a donated pink podium by request for those who speak out about breast cancer education.
