PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 03, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- For Olive Juice, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time that strikes very close to home. Founder Maryellen Kane has faced the harsh realities of the illness, as she stood witness to her mother's painful battle against breast cancer for years. In efforts to help others who are going through this difficult period, the children's apparel company is dedicated to making a difference by donating $1 of every purchase made during the month of October to Cuddle My Kids.
Cuddle My Kids is an organization that works with families in the Philadelphia area, and provides a retreat for children struggling to deal with their loved ones' battle with cancer. Mothers, nurses, teachers, and other volunteers, come together in this organization to aid families who are affected by the disease through care packages and enrichment programs. When cancer strikes, children are often left with little to no attention, as their parents try to get better. Cuddle My Kids provides children the opportunity to get away and receive some much-deserved attention.
"Being that breast cancer is something that has personally affected and changed my life, I knew I wanted to take this opportunity to help others who are in a similar situation," said Olive Juice Founder Maryellen Kane. "There are a lot of great organizations dedicated to cancer research and aid, but I thought I would reach out to Cuddle My Kids because they help a group that is often times overlooked. The children of cancer patients are in a very difficult situation, one that no one should ever have to endure alone. We are very proud to contribute where we can and we are even more proud that this money will be going to those who need it most within our very own community."
Olive Juice produces classic children's pieces that allow parents to dress their child with sophistication and style. By purchasing any of the company's apparel during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the survival and reach of Cuddle My Kids, and the aid of all children dealing with the effects of cancer in the Delaware Valley will be enhanced.
