Give A Gift Of Natural Bath Salts TO Support Breast Cancer Fund
Bath Petals to donate 15% of proceeds from their best-selling, 100% natural California Rose Garden Bath Salts to Breast Cancer Fund during October, in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.June 3, 2005, Los Angeles, CA - During the month of October, in an effort to raise awareness and money for breast cancer prevention, the Bath Petals Company will donate 15% of the proceeds from the sale of their California Rose Garden Bath Salts (40 oz.) to Breast Cancer Fund. The rose bath salts are their best selling product, and have been featured in InStyle and InStyle UK. Each bottle of these 100% natural bath salts contains 10-20 baths worth of Pacific solar-dried sea salts, scented with soothing, calming rose and geranium essential oils, and dried red rose petals. For each $30.00 bottle sold during October, either on bathpetals.com, or on Bath Petals' store at amazon.com/beauty, Bath Petals will donate $4.50 (15%) to Breast Cancer Fund.
"We have many customers who are breast cancer survivors," said Julie Warnock, co-founder of Bath Petals. "One customer told us that she soaked in our bath salts while in considerable pain from undergoing chemotherapy, and found them to be very therapeutic, relaxing and helped her get through her ordeal. Actually, Bath Petals products are designed to promote health and wellness, and to know that someone out there found some relief during their struggle with cancer, by using Bath Petals, is very satisfying for us."
October marks the 21st year of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Since the program began in 1985, mammography rates have more than doubled for women age 50 and older (from 25 percent in 1987 to 69 percent in 1998), and breast cancer deaths have declined by 1.6 percent between 1989 and 1995. This is exciting progress, but there are still women who do not take advantage of early detection at all and others who do not get screening mammograms and clinical breast exams at regular intervals. The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month program is dedicated to increasing public knowledge about the importance of early detection of breast cancer. Sixteen national public service organizations, professional associations, and government agencies comprise the Board of Sponsors, who work together to ensure that the NBCAM message is heard by thousands of women and their families.
