CauseKeepers

CauseKeepers is headed to our Nation's Capital for the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance annual Power Is Teal conference.  OCNA has been a wonderful partner with CauseKeepers for many years and we are very excited to be a part of this year's conference.

For the past twelve years, the Power Is Teal Conference has been the national epicenter for researchers, clinicians, survivors and friends to come together and learn from one another about how to improve diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for women with ovarian cancer.  Each year more voices are added.  Each year, more information is shared.  Each year, we move that much closer to saving women's lives, together.
Now in its thirteenth year, the theme of the Annual Conference is Power is Teal. It is an affirmation that we are being seen and heard from coast to coast, and from laboratories to legislatures. Since the founding of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, the focus has been to bring the issues surrounding this deadly disease to the attention of law makers; to increase funding for medical and scientific research; and to increase awareness about the symptoms of ovarian cancer so that more women and their doctors will know how to identify it in the early stages, when survival is highest. This year, the Power is Teal Conference will be held July 10-13, 2010 in Washington, DC.

As we all know, the political arena is beset with many challenges and distractions. Speakers at the Conference will discuss how health-care reform affects the ovarian cancer community and why now, perhaps more than any previous time, our voices need to be heard. You will hear why and how we need to remind our legislators that lives are at stake and our battle against this deadly disease has not yet been won.
Our weapons are our stories and the courage to speak up on Advocacy Day to let Congress and the Administration know we will not allow our cause to be silenced. This year's Power Is Teal Conference is an opportunity to come together as one voice with many stories, one voice with many lives. This is our way of flexing our collective muscles and making a difference for women.

Please join CauseKeepers and OCNA in the Nation's Capitol this July 10-13 as we work together to further this cause. Click on the image below and get your own Power Is Teal t-shirt to help support OCNA and to "Make Your Passion Known".

The Purple Glove Dance will be a powerful way for Relay Teams to show they are 4THEFIGHT against cancer in 2010.

Ramseur, North Carolina—December 15, 2009—4THEFIGHT.com today announced that it is has launched a cancer fundraising competition to generate cancer awareness and funds throughout communities nationally. Since 2004 4THEFIGHT.com and its parent company CauseKeepers has been at the forefront of partnering with cancer foundations with new products and ideas designed to encourage increased cancer awareness and effective fundraising. The Purple Glove Dance is a contest that allows cancer fundraising teams to film their own videos in hopes of being the Weekly Featured Video at www.purpleglovedance.com and being the grand prizewinner that will be announced on July 31, 2010.

“We are totally pumped about this competition and can’t wait to present the winning check to the winning team,” said Larry York, CauseKeepers’ Director of Business Development. CauseKeepers’ is headquartered in The John Plant building where gloves have been manufactured since 1918. The combination of cancer fundraising, fun, dancing and gloves could not be resisted and thus the competition. This is the year of the Purple Glove!

The winning team will more than likely be a Relay For Life Team who is accustomed to promoting cancer awareness and showcasing purple 4THEFIGHT items such as pull string purple bows and purple ribbon magnets. The check presented to the winning team will be made out to The American Cancer Society and will be at least $5,000! This amount could be much depending on the total number of purple gloves purchased at 4THEFIGHT.com. A portion of the proceeds from each sale of purple gloves at 4THEFIGHT.com will go to The American Cancer Society and the winning team. We are proud of Relay For Life Teams and their energy throughout the years and this is a fun way for them to join together. There are 3 simple steps to enter and only ELIGIBLE entries will have a chance at being the winner. Relay teams across America will be posting their purple glove dance videos on YouTube, so be on the lookout for your local team and be sure to share their video with your friends. The most viewed eligible video as of midnight July 31, 2010 will be the winner.

“We have already had a strong interest in our purple glove dance t-shirts, magnets and lapel pins,” said Larry York. All interested Relay For Life teams or cancer fundraising groups can learn more by visiting www.purpleglovedance.com . Although the winner will receive a check made out to The American Cancer Society, this competition is not affiliated with or endorsed by Relay For Life or The American Cancer Society.

I saw this video on the news and I can't help but post it here for everyone who hasn't seen it yet.  It is so wonderfully "produced" and it is truly inspiring.  It brings fun to the cause that often causes so much pain to families.  Watch it here for yourselves....

Of course, I cannot show a video about breast cancer without at least MENTIONING the fact that we sell pink ribbon awareness products that organizations big or small can resell to raise money for the fight against breast cancer. If you are interested in browsing our store, please click, here.
