Northwest Cancer Specialists, New Balance Portland, &
GI Joe's Launch Bracelet Fundraising Drive to the Benefit
The Komen Foundation

Strength-Hope-Courage bracelets for sale benefiting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Affiliate of Oregon & SW Washington

---------------------------------------------------------
  
Northwest Cancer Specialists, New Balance Portland, GI Joe's, and the Bike Gallery are joining together to sell pink Strength-Hope-Courage bracelets to raise funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. Bracelets are available for $2 each at the New Balance Portland store at Pioneer Place, Bike Gallery, GI Joe's, and at Northwest Cancer Specialists locations in the metro area. A kick off for the bracelets sales will be held at Pioneer Place on Friday, November 12 at 10:30 a.m., with the goal of collecting more than $60,000 for the local Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Funds from bracelet sales will benefit the educational and treatment programs of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, based in Portland. Three-quarters of funds raised locally support breast cancer programs in Oregon and S.W. Washington, with the remaining 25 percent of donations supporting national breast cancer research.

Nine metro locations of Northwest Cancer Specialists (For a listing of locations visit www.nwcancer.com.), the New Balance Portland store at Pioneer Place, GI Joe's, and Bike Gallery locations will sell the Strength-Hope-Courage bracelets. Following the popularity of the yellow Lance Armstrong bracelets nationwide, 40,000 of the Strength-Courage-Hope breast cancer awareness bracelets will be available locally until supplies run out. You can also click here to purchase the bracelet online in increments of 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100.
