Anyone can vote for the dental bib clip they find most offensive. In turn, Dux Dental will donate $1 to Mammograms In Action for each vote. Mammograms In Action is a nonprofit breast cancer organization whose mission it is to provide funding for low-income and uninsured women and men who need screening and/or diagnostic procedures for breast cancer detection. Voting is open now at www.bibezeforboobeze.com and runs until October 31, 2013.

Stacey Williams, director of marketing and sales for Dux Dental, noted that last year's Bib-Eze for Boob-Eze campaign had dental offices around the country send in hundreds of traditional bib holders in exchange for a donation to Mammograms In Action. The organizers were surprised at how dirty, rusty, and old some of the clips they received were, she said, and it served as the inspiration for this year's campaign.

Each visitor to the webiste can vote one time. Dux Dental will make the final donation to Mammograms In Action after the completion of the campaign in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
