It was a sea of pink at the University of California’s CAL pool as the men’s swim team competed against the University of the Pacific in a special “Pink Out” swim meet, in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in support of the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation. Leading swimwear brand and corporate partner Arena was on deck with pink swim caps.

During the meet, Arena presented a check to the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation in support of the Foundation’s cutting-edge genomics research and our ultimate goal of eradicating breast cancer. The check presentation also concluded the international Swim Challenge that Arena had launched that summer, when the brand pledged that it would donate funds to Edith Sanford in honor of the first world record broken in 2012 in an individual swimming race. The Swim Challenge focused on raising awareness for both Edith Sanford and the sport of swim, with the first world record broken on July 28, 2012, in the women’s 400 meter individual medley.

In 2012, the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation and the popular hand, nail and foot care brand Julep, launched an alliance to help improve awareness among younger women about breast cancer risk and prevention.

With a common vision, data supplied by Edith Sanford and design by Julep, they collaborated on an important infographic that was circulated to women around the world through the web. The graphic visual encourages women to be their own advocate by working with their healthcare provider to create an informed prevention or treatment plan that focuses on their individual needs.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Julep’s Powered by Girlfriends program also made a donation to the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation.

About Julep:  
Julep is a hand, nail and foot care brand with four boutique nail parlors in the Seattle area and a significant online presence. Founded on the belief that beauty is a connection, not a competition, Julep was created to celebrate the bond between girlfriends and the beauty of the human spirit. In addition to their parlors and online presence, they also have a monthly Julep Maven Box mail program with several thousands of subscribers. To learn more, visit julep.com

About the Powered by Girlfriend Program:
From the beginning, Julep has been powered by girlfriends. To celebrate these unique roots and to continue to pay it forward, Julep proudly donates a percentage of proceeds from the sale of every Julep Nail Color to organizations that empower women. They also encourage their Julep community to like them on Facebook where they can hear of additional opportunities to help them support specific charities throughout the year.

 

We have been thrilled to see our breast cancer infographic receive lots of attention on the blogosphere!

The Minnesota Lynx wore commemorative breast health awareness uniforms during the team’s August 19, 2012 match-up with the Tulsa Shock in honor of the team’s Breast Health Awareness Week, presented by the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer. After the game, the team auctioned off their game-worn jerseys on the Target Center floor in support of breast cancer research, with proceeds benefiting the Lynx Foundation, which supports the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation.

“Our Breast Health Awareness game is always one of our most popular games of the year,” said Timberwolves and Lynx President Chris Wright. “It’s a great opportunity for our organization to give back to the community, and a great chance to help support this incredibly important cause. We are extremely proud to have the opportunity to work with the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation to raise awareness about breast health research.”

Many thanks to the Family Wellness Center in Fargo, N.D., who decked out a treadmill in pink as part of their “Run to Raise” campaign to raise money for the Edith Sanford Breast Cancer Foundation.
