Coupons.com And The Breast Cancer Research Foundation Launch Partnership To Help Find A Cure
Shoppers Can Help Coupons.com Fund One Year's Worth of Breast Cancer Research Hours This Mother's Day Season
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Coupons.com Incorporated (NYSE:COUP), a leader in digital coupons, and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) today launched a partnership in time for Mother's Day to support breast cancer research worldwide. Through the Coupons for Change initiative, Coupons.com and BCRF are encouraging and empowering people everywhere to help reach the goal of funding one year's worth of breast cancer research hours – that's 2,087 hours of research time. Every hour of research that is funded can improve outcomes and ultimately save lives.
Throughout the month of May, shoppers will have access to qualified offers housed on a dedicated section of the Coupons.com site, www.coupons.com/BCRF. When shoppers use these offers to save, Coupons.com will donate 10 percent of the pre-tax transaction price to BCRF to help fund the critical breast cancer research needed to find a cure – totaling up to $104,350 (2,087 hours at $50/hour).
"We admire the passion and dedication that BCRF continues to demonstrate in their endeavors to find a cure for breast cancer and are thrilled to launch a partnership with them," said Michele Boal, Co- Founder and Chief Philanthropy Officer of Coupons.com. "Breast cancer is something that has touched too many people's lives – whether it's a personal battle, or one fought by a loved one. Mother's Day is a time we look to honor and protect the women in our lives, and through this partnership we are making it possible for everyone to support and continue a mission to end breast cancer together."
Since its inception, BCRF has raised more than $550 million with the goal of accelerating breakthroughs that bring the world closer to a cure. BCRF research has transformed the understanding of a disease that knows no boundaries, and has helped speed up the process that will improve survivorship and quality of life for breast cancer patients.
Through this partnership, shoppers will have access to offers from retailers already top-of-mind during the Mother's Day shopping season, including Macy's, Gap, Sephora and Kohl's, among many others. Through the technology and network of Coupons.com, people everywhere can be part of the solution to find a cure simply by shopping and saving.
"Every two minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. Through our invaluable partnership with Coupons.com, we are able to reach more and more people who can help us change the statistics on breast cancer and save lives," said Myra Biblowit, CEO and President of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. "Every hour of research that is funded helps shape outcomes for millions of women and men around the world."
This initiative between Coupons.com and BCRF will be the first of many between the two companies, as they work together to help prevent and ultimately cure breast cancer.
