Jewelry for a Cause
by tammy on January 8, 2007
Here's more from the National Lung Cancer Partnership:
Now, supporting lung cancer research can be as easy as purchasing specially designed jewelry that benefits the cause. National Lung Cancer Partnership is offering a bracelet of Swarovski crystals and two tasteful lapel pins to help raise awareness of the number one cancer killer while bringing in sorely needed funds for research.
The jewelry can be purchased at http://www.nationallungcancerpartnership.org with all proceeds directed to the funding of lung cancer research and education.
The lung cancer awareness bracelet is a stylized combination of Swarovski crystals of varying sizes and sterling silver beads. It has a sterling silver toggle clasp and a sterling silver ribbon. The pins being offered include one cast in pewter and finished in antique satin pewter, and a second of sparkling clear rhinestone crystals.
National Lung Cancer Partnership was founded by physicians and researchers to support lung cancer research and education and specifically focuses on understanding how the disease affects women differently than men.
"Lung cancer is often perceived as a man's disease, yet it affects tens of thousands of women, and we're very concerned that women seem to be in the dark when it comes to the facts about the disease and its prevalence," said Joan Schiller, MD, president, National Lung Cancer Partnership. "It is our goal to help women understand and be aware of their risks for lung cancer so they can be the best advocates for their own health."
Awareness among women about lung cancer is low, according to Dr. Schiller. In a recent survey by National Lung Cancer Partnership, only 12 percent of women believe they know the symptoms of lung cancer and fewer than 10 percent said they have talked to their doctors about their risk for lung cancer. Only 36 percent of women were aware that lung cancer kills more women each year than breast cancer.
The Swarovski crystal lung cancer awareness bracelet is available for $50. The pewter lung cancer awareness pin is $4, and the clear rhinestone lung cancer awareness pin is $5.
National Lung Cancer Partnership is the only national lung cancer organization founded by physicians and researchers and focused on understanding how the disease affects women and men differently. The 501(c) (3) organization was founded in 2001. For more information, go to http://www.NationalLungCancerPartnership.org.

I would have to agree with you Tammy. In fact, jewelry for a cause has become quite a competitive business. Crystal Allure Creations was founded on jewelry for a cause (cystic fibrosis and organ donation, to be more specific). As the leader in cause jewelry sales for the diseases mentioned above, I am proud to have been a supporter of these since the beginning, and I am always growing my cause jewelry line. It is definately a stylish way to show you care.

I think it's great to be able to connect the two things - helping other and making and wearing jewelry.

I share Stephanie's thoughts. We donate our breast cancer awareness bracelets to local fund raisers - it helps establish our name while supporting a fantastic cause... and we've helped raise thousands of dollars as a result.

Allen Iverson broke out his newest signature shoe, the Reebok Answer XII, during the first game between the Buy Reebok Answer XII Invictus Shoes in November 2008.
The Reebok Answer XII Invictus On Sale basketball shoe features a leather upper with internal mock bootie construction that provides maximum comfort.
The Nike zoom BB IIreceived its design cues from Japanese-born Reebok designer Nike Zoom BB II Basketball Shoes, who also designed the Answer X. Both Winfield and Kanata have been trading off between the past three Buy Cheap Nike Zoom BB II Men's Basketball shoes to allow for a longer design window and more attention to the development process. It could be argued that Iverson’s series lost its gusto during the VI to IX era. Luckily, for Iverson and his fans, the line has been in good hands the past three years.
The mid panel is also generously perforated for greater breathability and the Nike Shox Vc IV Men's Basketball Shoe Black suede toe sets off a nice balance to the simple yet sharp overall look.? The outsole features a sticky rubber wavy herringbone traction pattern and cushioning comes via DMX Ride.

I fight for lung cancer not breast. I do not contribute or support it. We are too underfunded & low survival rate. I do not know anyone with it. I am a lung cancer svr & asthmatic & my funds go to lung cancer or asthma.
