Aqua Lung’s all new Pearl
–
Goes Pink
The
Pearl,
featuring our patented and innovative SureLock II
weight pouch system, was designed for stylish women who demand superior
performance.
As
with the Pearl i3, Aqua Lung gives back to
women by supporting an important cause that has affected our employees and
their families, and women all around the country.
We
are pleased to announce that Aqua Lung will be making a cash donation to the
American Cancer Society for breast cancer research based upon the success of
the Pearl. The
more Pearl BCs that are sold (all 3 colors), the larger the donation will be.
While a donation of $5,000 - $7,000 is anticipated, Aqua Lung guarantees a
minimum donation of $2,500.
The
donations will be used to fund research, treatment and education programs to
fight and cure breast cancer – the most common cancer among women, other than
skin cancer, and the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung
cancer.
Approximately
178,480 women in the United
States will be diagnosed with invasive
breast cancer in 2007 and about 40,460 will die from the disease this year. The
chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is
about 1 in 8.
There
is hope. Right now there are slightly over 2 million women living in the United States
who have been treated for breast cancer and the death rates from the disease are going down. The decline is partly the result of finding
the cancer earlier and improved treatment options from breast cancer research.

Pearl purchased also includes an exclusive Breast Cancer pink ribbon medallion.
