Small Businesses Can Make a Big Difference; “Help Fight Breast Cancer” with a Pink Yoga Mat
A socially conscious online business is helping to raise awareness and raise money to help the fight against breast cancer with its pink "Help Fight Breast Cancer" Yoga Mat.
(PRWEB) August 11, 2005 -- A socially conscious online business is helping to
raise awareness and raise money to help the fight against breast cancer.
MatsMatsMats.com designed a Pink Yoga Mat with an affixed woven label that shows
a pink ribbon (the breast cancer awareness symbol) and reads “Help Fight Breast
Cancer.” This yoga mat is a unique variation of a popular mat and is currently
being sold to yoga studios, clubs/gyms, wellness centers and schools across the
nation.
This yoga mat is not only a high quality mat in a cool color, but
also raises awareness of the prevalence of the disease, and MatsMatsMats.com
donates 10% of every purchase to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
BCRF was selected as the charity to receive the donations because it guarantees
that a minimum of 85% of all funds raised go directly to research and treatment
of breast cancer.
While October is “Breast Cancer Awareness Month,”
breast cancer is a year-round fight – therefore, MatsMatsMats.com continues to
sell its “Help Fight Breast Cancer” Yoga Mat to raise awareness and money
throughout the year.
Yoga is increasingly being used as a form of Breast
Cancer Therapy, and there are a growing number of instructors and yoga classes
specifically dedicated to breast cancer survivors.
Breast Cancer
patients utilize yoga to improve their mind, body and spirit. Yoga helps to
reduce stress as well as increase strength, flexibility, energy, balance and
concentration. It helps to alleviate chronic pain and aides in the relief of
back and neck pain.
Yoga offers cancer patients relief from the stress
of treatment, while also assisting with the rehabilitation of their weakened
bodies. In fact, at the country's most prestigious cancer centers, yoga mats and
other yoga products are a common sight. Yoga has become an increasingly popular
part of cancer wellness programs both in professional rehabilitation programs as
well as in the privacy and comfort of patients’ homes.
