Think Pink! Breast Cancer Awareness – October 2009

UA — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 21:05:45 +0000

October is Breast Cancer awareness month. This is time of year where everyone gets together and raises money for more research. With advances made in medicine, we have to keep the momentum going and 2009 is no different! There are several organizations with valuable information on testing, prevention, treatment and more importantly, the simple feeling of looking out for one another.

The American Cancer Society states 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 40,170 deaths so far this year. It’s the most common cancer among women, other than skin cancer in United States. The good news is the death rate is going down, as a result of testing earlier and better treatment options. In the United States, there are about 2.5 million breast cancer survivors!

As an apparel company dedicated to the medical profession, we urge everyone to get involved. Wear pink nursing uniforms, or the pink ribbons indicating your awareness and support for our fellow sisters.

To show their support for the much needed research, Littman will donate $5.00 to the American Cancer Society from proceeds of their Classic II Stethoscope – style #CLASC2PR!

Featuring a two-sided chest piece, this stethoscope offers high acoustic sensitivity for superior performance. A tunable diaphragm on one side augments the traditional bell function of the opposite side. It also includes soft sealing eartips.

Koi will also donate $2.00 from each sale of their Hope print scrub top towards Breast Cancer research. This stylish and supportive mock wrap top features an:

adjustable side drawstring,
two large front pockets and side slits
made with 100% cotton
available in sizes XS to 3X

We have several other products to support Breast Cancer awareness, including nursing socks, watches and even a pink ribbon embroidery option for your scrub tops! Let’s not forget our great looking Pink Ribbon print scrubs.

A couple of years ago, we walked at the Susan G. Komen walk for the cure in Miami, and it was a great success! This year, Uniform Advantage will do its part by participating in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. For more information, visit Susan G Komen for the Cure on what you can do in our fight against Breast Cancer. You can also find an event near you. Together, we can make a difference!

We at, Uniform Advantage would like to thank you for your support this month, and look forward to serving your medical uniform needs today and tomorrow.

Get into Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

UA — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:03:01 +0000

As you know October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Every year at this time people from across our great Country come together with one voice to talk about Breast Cancer and to discuss the risks associated with it; and to share options for prevention and treatment. But even more importantly, it is a time for all of us, as a community, to come together and do our part to work towards raising as much money as possible to help find a cure for this debilitating and deadly disease.

According to the American Cancer Society, 183,000 mothers, daughters, aunts, friends, and spouses, will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer this year. Early detection can go a long way to helping many survive, but that can only happen with you getting involved. So take some action today. There will be local and national events the entire month of October. Wear pink uniforms or a pink ribbon specially made for Breast Cancer Awareness Month to show your support and to draw attention so that others know that you care. If we all do our part and get involved, great strides can be taken in both the emotional and medical help needed for those that have to face this nightmare.

In the spirit of increasing awareness and of early detection of this deadly disease, Littmann will donate $5 dollars to the American Cancer Society with the purchase of a “limited edition” Classic II S.E. Stethoscope - Style #CLASC2PR.

This stethoscope has a two-sided chest piece, and offers high acoustic sensitivity for superior performance. A tunable diaphragm on one side augments the traditional bell function of the opposite side. This Stethoscope also features soft sealing ear tips, and is made in USA.

We also have other products that support Breast Cancer Awareness:

This 10″ Plush Scrub Bear will make an excellent gift for your favorite medical professional! Comes in white with pink scrubs with an embroidered pink ribbon. Imported.

Show your support for breast cancer awareness with this Pink Ribbon Mug. White mug features a pink ribbon and the word “Hope”. Imported.
