This
October, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Aruba Aloe will launch its annual “Because We Care, We
Share” campaign to support Aruba's Mary Joan Foundation and promote breast cancer awareness.
With every purchase of $75, Aruba Aloe will donate $4.50 to the Mary Joan Foundation. The purchaser will
receive a free special “125-year-Anniversary-edition Ultra-Intensive Cream” as a gift (value of $18) for their
contribution, as well as a pink breast cancer awareness ribbon to show their support and spread awareness
within the local community.
Breast cancer is by far the most common cancer in women worldwide. One in eight women will be diagnosed
with breast cancer in their lifetime. Since 2008, worldwide breast cancer incidence has increased by more than
20 percent while mortality has increased by 14 percent. One-third of cancer deaths could be decreased if
detected and treated early.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a chance to raise awareness about the importance of early detection of
breast cancer, as well as raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and
cure. Aruba Aloe will support this cause by contributing to Aruba's local breast cancer organization, the Mary
Joan Foundation, which gives support to those suffering from breast cancer, breast cancer survivors, and their
families and friends, and also helps spread awareness about breast cancer, particularly the importance of early
detection.
“Because We Care, We Share” is a great opportunity for Aruba Aloe's clients to team up with Aruba Aloe to
spread breast cancer awareness while also enjoying a special “125-year-Anniversary-edition” gift from Aruba
Aloe. Aruba Aloe invites the community to visit its stores this October to participate in this special campaign. It
