Companies and non-profit organizations alike spend countless hours and dollars supporting a variety of amazing efforts to raise awareness and money for treatment of breast cancer and research. Here at Petunia, it’s an issue close at heart not only because it impacts mothers and families the world over, but because several of our employees’ lives have been changed as a result of this disease. That’s one of the reasons we partnered up with Team Spirit this past October. Team Spirit is a small group of Long Beach, CA residents who are dedicated to raising money for support of and promoting awareness in the treatment, research and emotional well-being of breast and ovarian cancer patients in its community. In the past 7 years Team Spirit has been successful in raising more than $430,000 for Long Beach Memorial Center Foundation. We at Petunia are personally touched by this organization as one of the Petunia mother’s is a breast cancer survivor herself and founder of Team Spirit. In an effort to help support this amazing organization a portion of the proceeds from the sale of every PINK Petunia bag during the month of October was donated to Team Spirit. With October now come and gone, and all those marketing dollars from the big companies focused on different issues, we ask that you not forget that the fight continues and we thank you for all your support to this great cause.
