be pink!


 

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October I am supporting Sleep Pink  — to raise funds for The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer to support finding a cure for breast cancer and advancing access to care for all.

 

Did you know?

*  Every three minutes a woman is diagnosed with Breast Cancer in this country, with menopause-age women at significantly greater risk.†
*  For many women, menopause and breast cancer loom large as health concerns, and quite often they experience both concurrently: menopause-aged women are at much greater risk for breast cancer than many of their pre-menopausal peers and a women’s risk of breast cancer triples from her thirties to her forties, and quintuples from her thirties to fifties.
*  One out of three women in the U.S. suffer from peri-menopause and menopause symptoms
*  In 2011 alone, more than 100,000 women between the ages of 45 and 64 were diagnosed with breast cancer.


Estroven will make a $100 donation to benefit the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer for every photo of a Sleep Pink party submitted during the month of October. Get your gals together in your finest pink and have a ball while supporting breast cancer research. Host a party!

During the month of October, Estroven is providing women with the necessary tools to host a Sleep Pink-themed party on SleepPink.com. The site will allow party hosts to upload photographs of their events, and for every photo, the company will pledge $100 to benefit the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It will also provide information to help organize the Sleep Pink parties including downloadable invitations, menopause-friendly
drink and food recipe suggestions, as well as décor and entertainment ideas.
 To find out how to host an Estroven Sleep Pink-themed party and raise funds for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, visit www.SleepPink.com.
