| Enterprise going pink for breast cancer awareness - Enterprise Posted: 08 Sep 2009 11:01 PM PDT Get ready to paint the town pink. The Enterprise and The Patriot Ledger, part of the GateHouse Media New England family, will publish on pink newsprint on Oct. 1. Five other dailies and more than 100 weekly newspapers in the group will publish on pink newsprint other days that week. And Enterprisenews.com, PatriotLedger.com and WickedLocal Web sites across the state will take on the rosy hue. It's all part of an effort by GateHouse Media New England, the American Cancer Society and We Got Soccer, Foxboro, to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month and raise money for research. "We can't think of a better way to bring attention to such an important cause," said Rick Daniels, GateHouse Media New England CEO. "We are so proud to be supporting this issue in such a dramatic way. The support of our presenting sponsor, We Got Soccer, helped make this possible," said Daniels. GateHouse will donate 10 cents from every pink newspaper sold in stores to the American Cancer Society that day and $5 from any subscription purchased by credit card during October. Local businesses can contribute by purchasing a pink ribbon in their ad for $25, which will be donated to the American Cancer Society. The company will also donate 10 percent of advertising packages purchased as part of the campaign. "Paint the town pink" will also promote the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on Oct. 4 in Boston. On the Web: cancer.org/stridesonline.

| Daughter's Memory Drives Parents to Raise Funding, Awareness for ... - PR Newswire Posted: 09 Sep 2009 12:01 PM PDT 2nd Annual Lisa Sandler Spaeth Memorial Golf Tournament to be held at Woodmont Country Club on September 14th ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Two years ago, Dr. Jerome and Froma Sandler lost their daughter to the untreatable lung disease they now work to cure. Lisa Sandler Spaeth died from Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) in 2007, a disease that claims 40,000 lives each year, the same as breast cancer. The Sandlers celebrate Lisa's life by hosting the second annual Lisa Sandler Spaeth Memorial Golf Tournament on September 14th at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville. PF has no treatments and no cure and is a disease that scars the lungs, suffocates its victims and is almost invariably fatal. Most people never hear of PF until it strikes someone they love. "The loss of our daughter is something we deal with every day and our hope is that by contributing to the search for a cure, we will help other families avoid this terrible tragedy," said Froma Sandler. "By asking the community to help support the CPF and pulmonary fibrosis research, we honor Lisa's memory while searching for a cure." The Sandlers are working hard to change things for other patients and families by increasing awareness and funding for the disease. Because awareness of PF is unacceptably low, funding for research in the area is even lower. The Sandlers will donate proceeds from the golf tournament to the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis (CPF) and those funds will be awarded to support much needed cutting-edge research in the field. The inaugural golf tournament in 2008 raised $275,000. Dr. and Mrs. Sandler are veterans of the CPF's annual National Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Week on Capitol Hill, where they have met with many Members of Congress regarding the recently re-introduced Pulmonary Fibrosis Research Enhancement Act (H.R. 1079) and encouraged their support of the bill which currently has 36 co-sponsors. The memorial golf tournament will be held during National PF Week which is set for September 14-21 and both Dr. Sandler and Froma Sandler will be on Capitol Hill again this year. "Dr. and Mrs. Sandler are such great role models for this cause. They are helping to bring much needed funding and awareness for PF and with their help, we will find desperately needed treatments," said Mishka Michon, Chief Executive Officer of the CPF. Events as part of the golf tournament include a day of golf, a luncheon, dinner, a live auction and special prizes. For further information or sponsorship, please contact Lauren Pinnar at (703) 860-0806. About Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) is a lung disorder characterized by a progressive scarring -- known as fibrosis -- and deterioration of the lungs, which slowly robs its victims of their ability to breathe. Approximately 128,000 Americans suffer from PF, and there is currently no known cause or cure. An estimated 48,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. PF is difficult to diagnose and an estimated two-thirds of patients die within five years of diagnosis. Sometimes PF can be linked to a particular cause, such as certain environmental exposures, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, residual infection, or autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma or rheumatoid arthritis. However, in many instances, no known cause can be established. When this is the case, it is called idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). About the CPF The CPF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 2001 to accelerate research efforts leading to a cure for pulmonary fibrosis (PF), while educating, supporting, and advocating for the community of patients, families, and medical professionals fighting this disease. The CPF funds promising research into new approaches to treat and cure PF; provides patients and families with comprehensive education materials, resources, and hope; serves as a voice for national advocacy of PF issues; and works to improve awareness of PF in the medical community as well as the general public. The CPF's nonprofit partners include many of the most respected medical centers and healthcare organizations in the U.S. With more than 19,000 members nationwide, the CPF is the largest nonprofit organization in the U.S. dedicated to advocating for those with PF.

| New Special Edition Oreck® Vacuum Helps Clean for the Cure® - PR Inside Posted: 09 Sep 2009 12:09 PM PDT 2009-09-09 21:11:01 -
The Oreck vacuum was invented with women in mind, according to Oreck Corporation founder David Oreck. "That's why I engineered it to be lightweight and powerful for ease of use, effective cleaning and allergen control," Oreck said. "In our support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure in the fight against breast cancer, we designed two new special edition vacuums to help raise donations for the cause," Oreck said. October is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month. "For every pink-accented Clean for the Cure® special edition Oreck XL bagged vacuum purchased, Oreck will donate $25 to Komen for the Cure, " Oreck said. "To date Oreck Corporation donated more than $1 million to Komen for the Cure to search for the cure for breast cancer," reported Oreck. Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. The Clean for the Cure Oreck vacuums with disposable inner bags are fashionably black with pink piping, pink ribbon zipper fob charm, a pink base and have advanced filtration as well as Oreck's antibacterial IntellaShield Technology™. "It is our hope that anyone needing a new or additional vacuum will think of the importance of supporting the breast cancer cause and think pink," Oreck said. "Susan G. Komen for the Cure is clearly a cause that touches our consumers and we want to give back to the people who buy our products." The self-sealing patented SaniSeal® inner bag is another layer of defense that locks in fine particles like allergens, bacteria as well as dirt and debris. In contrast, when bagless vacuum dirt containers are emptied, dirt, dust and allergens can spew onto the face, hands and eyes and back into the home, according to leading bacteria expert, Dr. Patented Oreck IntellaShield Technology™ combines bacterial protection and odor control. An antimicrobial agent built right into the vacuum fights microbes such as bacteria, mold, mildew and odors so the vacuum is clean to the touch and smells fresh. "Most people can push the Oreck Upright Vacuum with one finger," Oreck noted. "I wanted to make it as user friendly as possible while keeping cleaning powerful." For above floor cleaning and stairs, the upright vacuum comes with a separate lightweight bagged handheld vac with telescoping attachments. In an effort to raise more funds for the cure, Oreck will donate $25 for each of two models: the Oreck Clean for the Cure® XL® Platinum Vacuum retailing for $599 and the Oreck Clean for the Cure® XL® Gold Vacuum retailing for $499. The special edition Oreck XL® vacuum is available online at www.cleanforthecure.com : The Oreck XL® Power Team Clean for the Cure® special edition vacuums carry a 5 to 10-year warranty and 5 to 10 annual, free tune-ups as an extra measure of assurance for high performance. Oreck Clean Home Centers are staffed by trained healthier home professionals who offer expert cleaning advice as well as the latest technologies. Oreck Corporation offers a Total Cleaning System™, including upright vacuums with hypo-allergenic disposable inner bags, handheld bagged vacuums with tools, multi-floor cleaners, advanced air purifiers and Oreck cleaning products.
