COLUMBIA, S.C. (October 22, 2014)
– It is estimated that one in eight
women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Pure Fishing is
on a mission to bring awareness for early detection. Pure Fishing was built on
a foundation of service and a willingness to help those in need. Since 2007,
Pure Fishing has dedicated its support to help raise awareness of breast
cancer.
Pure Fishing continues to support the American Breast Cancer Foundation. The
partnership between the two help men and women become more aware of the risks.
Shakespeare® began the program in 2007 and Ugly Stik®
joined the program one year later. Future donation plans were set into place
and expanded to encompass Pure Fishing Brands Shakespeare and Pflueger®. Donations from the company to the ABCF to date
exceed $255,000.
"The donations made to the ABCF are our way of giving back," Cara
Finger, Pure Fishing Director of Marketing Services, said. "Shakespeare® LadyFish™ series provides anglers with the opportunity to
fund a worthy cause. We all must be aware of the dangers that are associated
with breast cancer, and donating a portion of the sales from this series helps
ABCF to continue its goal of prevention.”
There are many ways anglers can help ABCF. Whether it is through the purchase
of the Shakespeare Ladyfish series or the Pflueger
Lady Trion series, anglers can provide support by purchasing these combos that
were built specifically for lady anglers.
Everything about the combos are designed to embrace the heart of the female
angler. Enhancements include lighter weights and smaller grips to make fishing
more comfortable.
A portion of the proceeds from all Ladyfish and Lady Trion sales are donated to
the American Breast Cancer Foundation.
