SHOW YOUR SUPPORT WITH BREAST CANCER BRACELETS

OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, AND THIS YEAR WE’D LIKE TO SHED LIGHT ON AWARENESS AND PREVENTION AS WELL AS WHAT WE ARE DOING TO SHOW OUR SUPPORT AS A BRAND.

OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE KEEP A BREAST FOUNDATION

ACCORDING TO THE KEEP A BREAST FOUNDATION’S WEBSITE, “OVER 300,000 WOMEN ARE DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER IN THE UNITED STATES EACH YEAR AND APPROXIMATELY 12,000 OF THOSE DIAGNOSED ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 40. WHEN BREAST CANCER IS DETECTED EARLY (IN THE LOCALIZED STAGE), THE 5-YEAR SURVIVAL RATE IS 98% (NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE).”

THIS IS WHY WE’VE CHOSEN TO PARTNER WITH THE KEEP A BREAST FOUNDATION FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS AND ARE SO HONORED TO HAVE CONTINUED OUR PARTNERSHIP THIS YEAR, TOO. THEIR MISSION IS TO EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WITH BREAST HEALTH EDUCATION AND SUPPORT AND THIS IS MESSAGE REALLY RESONATES WITH US AS WELL. THE IDEA WAS FIRST SPARKED WHEN FOUNDER, SHANEY JO DARDEN’S FRIEND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER. A DESIGNER IN SKATEBOARD CULTURE, SHANEY CREATED BREAST CASTS TO CAPTURE AND COMMUNICATE THE CHALLENGES OF BREAST CANCER IN ORDER TO SHOW HER SUPPORT AND RAISE MONEY FOR HER FRIEND.

NOW, 20 YEARS LATER, THE FOUNDATION IS STILL GOING STRONG RAISING MONEY AND AWARENESS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. IN FACT, KEEP A BREAST RECENTLY LAUNCHED AN APP DESIGNED TO TEACH WOMEN HOW TO DO A SELF-CHECK, SET REMINDERS AND CONNECT WITH A DOCTOR IF NECESSARY. THEIR GOAL WAS TO CREATE A TOOL TO SUPPORT WOMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD AND ASSIST IN THEIR ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE, LITERALLY PUTTING LIFESAVING INFORMATION IN THE PALM OF THEIR HAND BY GIVING THEM A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE, TIPS, INFORMATION AND AUTOMATIC SCHEDULING IN ORDER TO MAKE IT AS SIMPLE AND ACCESSIBLE AS POSSIBLE. THEIR HOPE IS WOMEN WOULD BE MORE LIKELY TO CREATE AND STICK WITH A SELF-CHECK ROUTINE IF IT IS EASY TO DO SO.
