Breast Cancer Awareness Month
by Hanes on October 21st, 2009As you may know, October marks National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we are proud to partner with Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and actress Sarah Chalke to join the fight against breast cancer. This year Hanes is donating $250,000 ($100,000 in cash and $150,000 in kind) to Komen for the Cure along with offering a special “pink collection” of panties, bras, socks and graphic tees (including one T-shirt exclusively designed by Chalke) on www.hanespink.com.
Have you had a chance to check out the site? We’d love your feedback on the pink collection of products and the Passionately Pink for the Cure® T-shirt Design Competition, where one grand-prize winner will receive a $250 Hanes gift card, a screen-printed copy of the winning T-shirt design and a $5,000 donation in the grand-prize winner’s name to the winner’s choice of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® local Affiliate or Komen Global Headquarters.
How are you getting involved in the fight against breast cancer this year? Do you have photos from a recent race or shirts you’ve designed with your friends? Feel free to upload your photos and videos of support!
Below are some finalists from the Passionately Pink for the Cure® T-shirt Design Competition, enjoy!
The gift of comfort
by Hanes on September 8th, 2009A few months ago, we were introduced to a gentleman who described his upcoming cross-country road trip to visit shelters and put a face on the growing homeless population. With a digital camera and camcorder in hand, Mark shared his stories in real-time, posting photos and videos using his blog, Twitter handle, Posterous and Whrrl accounts.
Mark came to Hanes asking for one thing, socks. Socks, as Mark vividly explained, are like GOLD and often the most single requested item following food. We were happy to help Mark and have followed his every step on his Invisible People blog. Stories like Angela’s and daily photos like these continue to inspire us and we’re lucky to have been introduced to such a stand-up guy like Mark and his cause.
