XIV KARATS LTD DONATES PINK RIBBON PINS TO BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION TO HELP PROMOTE MAMMOGRAMS AND BREAST HEALTH

Los Angeles, CA (October 8, 2006)- XIV KARATS LTD of Beverly Hills donated a thousand pink ribbons made out of sterling silver doused in 18k gold vermeil coating and crowned with pink Austrian crystals to The Denise Roberts Breast Cancer Foundation (TDRBCF). 100% of proceeds of the pin will help pay for uninsured women under the age of forty to receive mammograms, breast health education and care.

The partnership between XIV Karats and TDRBCF is helping to save lives in the joint effort in the fight against Breast Cancer. Women and men of under-served communities will benefit from this donation and the educational and outreach programs provided by TDRBCF. This foundation is not just in search for the cure, but is actively in touch with different communities to make sure they have the necessary tools for prevention, detection and health care.

“I am honored to receive such a gift from XIV Karats, so that we may continue to educate and serve women and men each day… knowing that we can make a difference now in the way we live and take care of our bodies will have a major impact in ensuring a longer and healthier life” says Denise Roberts, Founder & Survivor.

In its seventh year, TDRBCF continues to fight for those who are not financially able to receive medical attention. The Foundation is impacting Los Angeles County and surrounding areas through breast health education, breast screenings and support with Denise Roberts at the forefront, blazing the trail as a nineteen-year breast cancer survivor.
