Positive Promotions Gives Back

Did you know that every 3 minutes another woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer?* Though the statistic is startling, there is also promising news: thanks to increased awareness and improved treatments, deaths from breast cancer have actually declined and survivors are living longer, healthier lives.

Regular breast self exams, annual mammograms and simply knowing the facts about breast cancer are vital steps all women can take to protect their breast health. Positive Promotions is committed to helping you with your awareness and education programs by offering this catalog of exclusively designed, effective breast care products certain to fit any budget. We are proud to announce that we donate a portion of our proceeds from these products to support prominent organizations in the fight for a cure.

Together we can make a difference! The products and educational tools in our catalog help you give every woman up-to-date information about breast cancer risk and prevention. You’ll also find giveaways designed to show support and provide hope for patients battling the disease–and for the people who love them. Hand out these tools at hospitals, medical centers, presentations and health fairs. Display them in waiting rooms and break rooms. Present item at walks, runs and other fundraisers.

Offering Comfort And Hope

For almost 40 years, the American Cancer Society’s Reach to Recovery program has been helping women and men cope with breast cancer. Trained volunteers, who are breast cancer survivors, give patients and their families the chance to express their feelings and ask questions. To locate a Reach to Recovery program in your area, to volunteer or to make a donation, call 1-800-ACS-2345. For more information, check the ACS web site at www.cancer.org

Sweet Activity

Provide an outlet for creativity while raising funds for breast cancer research by sponsoring a cake-decorating contest. When you announce the contest, let everyone know the cakes will not be returned but will instead be used for a cake walk. Have categories to compete in, such as the prettiest and the largest number of pink ribbons. Award Desktop/Travel Alarm Clocks imprinted with “Time For A Mammogram?” to the winners. Charge a fee for participation in the cake walk. Give an Embroidered Pink Ribbon to each person who pays to join in.

Flower Power

Turn an outside area into a place where members of your community can go to be refreshed, during NBCAM and all year. Set up a Garden of Hope. Sell Flower-Shaped Breast Cancer Awareness Lapel Pins and other breast cancer awareness gifts to raise money for the garden’s plants. Make signs with positive sayings. Put them, as well as big pink ribbons, in the garden. At the entrance to the garden, keep “Think Pink” Breast Care Awareness Seed Packets in a container. That way, visitors can take the packets home to have screening guidelines handy and to be able to plant their own flowers.
