DODGEVILLE, Wis., Oct. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Lands' End is raising awareness and funding for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation through the annual Pink Thread Project. The campaign is in its fourth year and was created to further support the organization's mission to be the end of breast cancer by advancing the world's most promising research.
"The Pink Thread Project has truly been the bond that ties together our commitment to support breast cancer research," said Becky Gebhardt, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Lands' End. "We are proud to partner with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for a fourth year to once again demonstrate that a little pink truly does a lot of good, and together with our customers we look forward to helping make a difference."
