ShurTech Brands to donate $100,000 to BCRF

According to the American Cancer Society, after lung cancer, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. So, for the third consecutive year, ShurTech Brands, LLC, marketers of the Duck^® brand of duct tapes, packaging supplies and home products, is joining the fight to find a cure by contributing up to $100,000 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation^® (BCRF).

During the month of October, a portion of sales from select Duck Tape^® brand duct tape and Duck^® brand EZ Start^® packaging tape products will be donated to help find a cure. BCRF will receive 10 cents from the purchase of each roll of Duck Tape^® brand duct tape in Funky Flamingo^®, EZ Start (clear) or EZ Start^® Printed Packaging Tape in the new Zebra with a Cause pattern. Additionally, BCRF will receive 20 cents from the purchase of pink-packaged Duck brand Bubble Wrap^® brand cushioning and HP260^™ packaging tape.

"The American Cancer Society has estimated that over 207,090 new cases of invasive breast cancer were expected in women in the U.S. last year. That statistic really hits home for many people and we look forward to continuing our support of BCRF. No matter the product, our hope is that everyone adds some pink to their shopping cart to lend their support and help organizations, like BCRF, come a little closer to finding a cure for breast cancer," said Shelley Price, director of household/stationery products, ShurTech Brands, LLC.

The Duck brand Pink Program kicks off October 1, 2011, and lasts through Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Specially marked items will be packaged in pink and will feature the BCRF logo to indicate its association with the program.
