ABINGDON, VA – International spa products distributor Universal Companies has joined hands with Intrinsics® single-use essentials to fight breast cancer by with The Pink Glove. Beginning in September 2006, spa professionals everywhere began replacing their hygienic vinyl gloves with The Pink Glove to show millions of consumers they support breast cancer research. The total profit from the sale of each box of 100 pink vinyl gloves – $5.50 – is donated to City of Hope, a leading Southern California biomedical research and treatment center and hospital for cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
“We are very glad that spa professionals want to partner with us in this effort to increase funding to battle breast cancer,” said Universal Founder and CEO Marti Morenings. “All of us have been touched either personally or by a friend or loved one who has suffered from this dreaded disease. City of Hope is doing amazing research on fighting breast cancer, and we’re privileged to be a part of that work.”
When spas, salons, and healthcare providers purchase and use the pink vinyl gloves while performing services, they are not only donating to City of Hope, but also demonstrating their support and building awareness of breast cancer research, treatment, and education among their clients.
The Pink Glove is lightly powdered and available in small and medium sizes. A box of 100 latex-free gloves may be purchased for $9.99. For more information or to order, please call Universal Companies at 800.558.5571.
