Henry Schein ‘thinks pink’ for breast cancer awareness

Henry Schein once again partnered with the American Cancer Society for the fourth annual "Think Pink, Practice Pink" campaign to raise awareness and support a cure for breast cancer.

As a flagship program of Henry Schein Cares, the "Think Pink, Practice Pink" campaign included a special selection of "pink" products for dental, dental lab, medical, animal health, and special markets customers, the company said in a press release. A portion of the sales of those products are being donated to the American Cancer Society to help fund research and care in the fight against breast cancer and other cancers.

In addition, employees from the company's various U.S. facilities wore pink clothing and received special commemorative gifts during the month. At the company's headquarters in New York, many employees also showed their support by participating in the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk."

This year, a portion of proceeds from sales of the featured products also are going to the Henry Schein Cares Foundation to help improve access to care for underserved communities around the world.

In its first three years, the initiative raised more than $200,000 for cancer research.
