San Francisco, CA (Vocus) November 4, 2009
ChooseDirect donated a portion of its October sales to providing mammograms to women who cannot afford them in conjunction with October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Recognizing that this cause is important for women's health, the company has partnered with the Mills-Peninsula Breast Programs in San Mateo and South San Francisco, CA.
"It's great to be a small business owner who can afford to donate to worthy causes like providing free mammograms to women who cannot afford them," says Steve Barbarich (http://www. builderszone. com/articles/choose-hot-tubs. htm), CEO of ChooseDirect. "Breast cancer research is an important cause that deserves everyone's efforts."
One of Barbarich's e-commerce sites, Choose Hot Tubs Direct. com (http://choosehottubsdirect. com/), has joined the worldwide charity movement to help improve the earth, allocating funds to different charities in need of relief. For example, ChooseHotTubsDirect. com raised money for Hurricane Ike victims last October. In October of this year, he chose breast cancer as his charity, realizing California has some of the highest breast cancer rates in the nation.
For the entire month of October, Barbarich allocated funds from hot tub sales to donate to the Mills-Peninsula Breast Programs. In partnering with the centers, Barbarich hopes to raise awareness about breast cancer in the San Francisco metropolitan area, where his company, ChooseDirect, is based.
The Mills-Peninsula Breast Programs (http://www. mills-peninsula. org/cancer/breasthealth. html), part of the Mills-Peninsula Women's Center, is among national leaders in five-year breast cancer survival rates, in part because the breast centers detect cancer early, when it's most curable. ChooseDirect has been pleased to be working directly with the centers in order to offer the most assistance the company can. One can donate to the center online here (http://www. mills-peninsula. org/foundation/help/cash. html) or by sending a check payable to "Mills-Peninsula Hospital Foundation" to Mills-Peninsula Hospital Foundation, 1501 Trousdale Dr., Burlingame, CA 94010. People can also call them with a credit card donation at 650-696-5990.
Another way to donate to breast cancer research is by going to "Click to Give Free Mammograms (http://www. thebreastcancersite. com/clickToGive/home. faces;jsessionid=C463E16A0E4BF8D87EED7B1CD17103AF. ctg-b? siteId=2&link=ctg_bcs_home_from_bcs_home_leftnav_logo)" at the Breast Cancer Site. All one needs to do is click on the box every day and sponsors pay for mammograms. It's free and 100% of sponsor money goes to charity. Each click helps fund free mammograms for women in need -- low income, inner-city and minority women who don't know much about breast cancer and whose opportunity for help is often compromised.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation states that each year, over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and over 40,000 will die. One woman in eight either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Men are not immune to the disease either; approximately 1700 men will be diagnosed with it and 450 will die each year.
