US (PA): Organic Remedies to continue breast cancer awareness campaign

Organic Remedies has announced its continued support of the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition and Pink Hands of Hope. PBCC is a local nonprofit that supports and serves Pennsylvania's breast cancer survivors and their families through educational programming, legislative advocacy, and breast cancer research grants. Pink Hands of Hope is a 501(c)3 dedicated to helping women in Pennsylvania during their battle against breast cancer. The organization provides free products and services to help make the journey a little easier.

"Breast cancer affects thousands of women and their families across Pennsylvania each year. We want to do our part to support women currently battling breast cancer and celebrate the heroic survivors who have won the fight," said Mark Toigo, CEO, Organic Remedies. "Lighting the sky pink throughout the month not only demonstrates our commitment to this worthy cause but also brings awareness to all who see this vivid display."

During the month, Organic Remedies is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sales of select products to PBCC. Donation cannisters will also be available in its six dispensaries for patients who want to support PBCC with a cash donation. Free educational information and resources about breast cancer will also be available in dispensaries.

"We exist to help the 14,000 women in Pennsylvania who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, to support the families of the 2,200 women who will lose that battle and to serve as a resource for the hundreds of thousands more women currently living with the disease. Our mission is to find a cure for breast cancer now…so our daughters don't have to," said Brittani Potts, Community Outreach Coordinator, PA Breast Cancer Coalition. "We are delighted to work with Organic Remedies again this year to raise funds to help breast cancer survivors and their families. Thank you, Organic Remedies."

Organic Remedies will also collect donations of women's and men's clothing, jewelry, purses, and scarves, for local nonprofit Pink Hands of Hope. Pink Hands of Hope operates a thrift store in Mechanicsburg, PA., and works hand in hand with PBCC to provide wigs, caps, clothing, shawls, knitted knockers, port pillows and many other items available at no cost. Collection boxes will be available on Fri., Oct. 10 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm at outdoor pop-up tables at all Organic Remedies dispensaries.
