KastKing™
will donate all profits from the sale of KastKing™ Pink Braided
Fishing Line during October to Breast Cancer Research and reward
creative talents.
Hempstead,
Long Island, NY (September 30, 2014) -- During the month of
October KastKing™ is donating 100% of profits from KastKing™ Pink
Braided Fishing Line (http://www.eposeidon.com/braid-fishing-line)
to breast cancer research. The Reel Men Fish Pink
program challenges men to "spool it pink," and initiate
conversations with their male friends about supporting the women in
their lives to be screened for breast cancer. The KastKing™
fundraising program begins October 1 and runs until October 31, 2014.
"We
are reaching out to a few in the fishing community to spool up their
fishing reels with pink braided line and have them use their social
media channels to in turn challenge three or more others to do the
same," says Eposeidon Inc.'s Marketing Director Tom Gahan. "We'd
like to see how big this fundraising effort can get. We feel that
equally important to raising money is encouraging guys to be
supportive of their gal's health care issues and talking with them
about getting a mammogram." Eposeidon, Inc. is the parent
company of KastKing™ brands. Braided fishing line is used for many
fishing techniques in saltwater and freshwater. Pink is the official
color for breast cancer awareness in October.
Eposeidon
will select five of the most creative, educational, or touching
YouTube videos or Facebook stories that challenge others to
participate. A dozen roses will be sent on behalf of the winners to
the most important woman in their life.
A
woman currently living in the U.S. has a 12 percent, or 1 in 8,
lifetime risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer - compared to a 1
in 11 risk in the 1970s. Women diagnosed at early stages of breast
cancer have a higher five-year relative survival rate. According to
the American Cancer Society, the five-year relative survival ranges
from 99 percent for localized disease (confined to the breast) to 25
percent for distant-stage disease (spread to other organs).
The
money being donated will go towards breast cancer research and to
help women without health insurance to get free mammogram.
"With
so many issues out there, we know that it's hard for some people to
donate their time and creative talents. We realize that many will
take part out of their own goodness, but we wanted to keep it
interesting and spur people to action," says Tate Qui, CEO
Eposeidon. "A lot of people doing a little bit can make a big
difference. We are proud to support issues such as breast cancer
awareness and we are ready to jump in and do our part. Our Reel Men
Fish Pink challenge with our pink braided fishing line is one of many
other support programs we will put forward in the future."
