With Breast Cancer Awareness month right around the corner, ASICS America has once again joined forces with Christina Applegate to launch a pink collection in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, including the brand’s most popular footwear and apparel items in the eye-catching bright pink.
Thanks in part to a successful partnership with ASICS America last October, Right Action for Women increased its assistance for MRI screenings six-fold from 2011 to 2012. Christina is thrilled to be a part of this year’s program again and to partner with ASICS to continue her reach. After receiving her own breast cancer diagnosis in 2008, she created Right Action for Women to educate women and encourage them to talk to their doctors about appropriate screening.
For the 2013 Breast Cancer Awareness Collection, ASICS has revamped its products, offering the latest GT-1000™ 2 performance running sneaker for men, women and children in an electric pink color. The collection also includes the ASICS The Smuggler™ Sports Bra and ASICS Pink Ribbon Nimbus Classic LC sock.
ASICS has guaranteed a minimum donation of $100,000 (and up to $125,000) to Right Action for Women from the specially marked products now available at retail stores nationwide and at http://www.asicsamerica.com.
