Company to Donate a Portion of October Proceeds to Fund Life-Saving Research and Awareness Programs, Dentists Don Pink
PLANTATION, FL–(Marketwire – October 13, 2010) – For the second year in a row, DentalPlans.com, the top online source for affordable and easy-to-use alternatives to dental insurance, is proud to donate a portion of the firm’s October proceeds to support breast cancer research and awareness. DentalPlans.com is pleased to reaffirm their commitment to women’s health and fund groundbreaking research, education, screening and treatment during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
“As a leader in discount dental plans, our company is fully committed to the well being of our nation’s oral health,” said Buddy Johnson, CEO of DentalPlans.com, Inc. “We are proud to extend our support to raise public awareness and fund life-saving research to ultimately cure this devastating disease.”
In further support of the company’s campaign, DentalPlans.com has provided select network dentists and their staff members with pink dental scrubs and badges inscribed with a pink ribbon and the word ‘hope.’ “Any small thing we can do to eradicate this disease is a huge step forward,” said Dr. Peter Krimsky, who is proudly setting aside the conventional blue scrubs to wear pink ones along with his staff. “We’re raising awareness and prompting our patients to think.”
Dr. Krimsky’s office sees wearing pink as making a difference, one that will one day contribute to the end of the disease. Others are adopting the same thinking and pink is popping up where one might least expect. This year, the National Football League has teamed with the American Cancer Society to feature players, coaches and referees wearing pink apparel in the name of awareness.
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. One out of eight American women who live to be 85 years of age will develop breast cancer, a risk that was one out of 14 in 1960. Excluding cancers of the skin, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed among U.S. women, accounting for more than 1 in 4 cancers.
