“Support from partners like Snapfish helps us achieve so much in this fight,” said Margo K. Lucero, vice president, Business Development and Partnerships, Susan G. Komen for the Cure. “The five-year survival rate when detected early is over 98 percent! Enabling our supporters as well as members on Snapfish to enjoy unique, personalized photo gifts while also giving them a chance to contribute to the cause is a way that, together, we can continue to take action in the fight against breast cancer.”
Snapfish has a long-standing tie to breast cancer awareness and the support of the cause as two young women in the Snapfish family were previously diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 and 2006. Today, both women are doing well today and have become advocates for awareness, early detection and prevention of the disease. They help to inform and drive the Snapfish breast cancer awareness programming each year.
Snapfish also invites its members to show how they are supporting breast cancer awareness month by encouraging them to write to pinkgives@snapfish.com with their event details – whether it’s a walk, fundraising campaign or party – for a chance to receive Snapfish support as an official photo sponsor for their breast cancer awareness-related event. Snapfish will select four events from all submissions and will fund up to $1,500 in product for each event that is selected.
All Snapfish PinkGives products will be available throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. Additional information is available at www.snapfish.com/pinkgives and www.komen.org.
