EDISON, N.J., Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Every October, Dr. Leonard’s® Healthcare Corp. comes together as a company—and a family—to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This heartbreaking disease is the most common form of cancer for women worldwide. And, in this country, a woman receives the chilling diagnosis every two minutes. That’s hundreds of thousands of mothers, sisters, daughters, friends — and their families —who are touched by the disease each year.
Wear Pink to Work Day
To raise awareness in the workplace and foster a culture of support, Dr. Leonard’s hosts an annual Wear Pink to Work Day. Associates in its Edison, NJ offices are invited to come to work wearing a piece of pink clothing – or entire pink outfit. The participation is always high, and the results are quite inspiring.
Partnering with Susan G. Komen®
This year, Dr. Leonard’s® is partnering with Susan G. Komen® to advance their mission to save lives, ensure quality care for all—and help find a cure. Since its inception, Komen® has raised nearly $1.5 billion and is the largest breast cancer organization in the United States. It helps fund crucial health services and social support programs, in addition to promoting research, advocacy and education. To date, they’ve helped more than three million women survive breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelet Program
