FOR IMMEDIATE

Hauppauge, NY – October 2012 Eyewear
industry leader ClearVision
Optical teams with employees to “Think Pink” in an effort to raise
awareness and support the global fight against breast cancer.
Emphasizing its philosophy of
treating others as they wish to be treated, ClearVision encourages employees to
help those in need whenever possible and give back to the community. It’s
“Think Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness” campaign takes place the entire month
of October with a variety of fundraising opportunities and special events.
“The fight against breast
cancer is a cause we passionately support year round,” says “Jennifer
Trakhtenberg, ClearVision’s Senior Talent Leader. “It hits close to home for us
not only because of the high number of breast cancer cases on Long Island, but
because we are a predominantly female-employed company. I don’t know of many
other small businesses on Long Island that do as much as we do to support the
cause.”
“Think Pink” events include:
All
Month Long: ClearVision will match all employee
donations in support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
·
Pink Penny Jar – Employees are encouraged to donate spare change through the
end of October
·
Pink Ribbon Pin Sales – Available for sale all month long. The small cost of these
pins adds up quickly.
·
Self-Exam Cards – Available all month. ClearVision prides itself on its
employee health and wellness programs, and the Self-Exam Cards are an important
piece of information everyone should have.
