Pink Ribbon Campaign

One of my best friends, Lydia, and her husband are coming by this afternoon for a cookout. Lydia is a breast cancer survivor, and since her diagnosis (April 26, 2004), subsequent treatment, and recovery, finding (and funding) a cure for breast cancer has become a subject close to my heart. So, in honor of her visit today (and, since all the fall catalogues are starting to arrive and make me think about buying clothes for cooler weather), I thought I'd pass along this press release on pink pashminas charity donation:

Pashmina Sales Donate to Breast Cancer

Now when you pick up a pashmina, you can have the choice of donating to a well known and worthy cause - breast cancer research! To support the Pink Ribbon campaign for fundraising in the fight against breast cancer, for any order containing a pink pashmina, part of the sale value will be given directly to cancer research.

Pashmina International partnered with International Breast Cancer Research Foundation in July 2007 and is committed to helping defeat breast cancer. They will donate 5% of the total value of relevant orders directly to IBCRF. The pashminas are available in six different styles, from $25.99, including free delivery to any location in the world.

The scarves are of a high quality, and at a very competitive price, so there's really no excuse for not helping a worthy cause. "I just can't believe how soft it is" said Irene, from the UK. Camilla Field, marketing director of Pashmina International, is really up for the cause. "I buy a pink ribbon every year", she said.

IBCRF, currently in its fifteenth year, is committed to practical, cost-effective, breakthrough research that takes advantage of the most promising opportunities and ideas everywhere in the world. This research – especially clinical research – holds the key to understanding, preventing and curing breast cancer.

Pashmina International specialises in genuine cashmere/silk pashmina shawls and scarves. Free worldwide shipping is available on every order, and all the garments are fuzzy, soft, and lightweight. There are no artificial fibers in the scarves, and Pashmina International operates a strict no-child-labor policy, which includes strict standards and personal factory checks.
