The color pink represents more than just breast cancer awareness. It symbolizes the promise between two sisters to find a cure for this deadly disease. That promise started the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and ignited the passion of millions to create a world without breast cancer. In recognition of this, all products and items sold on TigerDirect.com and will be shipped in specially designed pink boxes and the pink ribbon will be promoted on all catalogs, newspaper advertisements, web banner advertising, store signs and incorporated into the TigerDirect.com logo.
This year, close to 35,000 fewer women are expected to be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, according to data presented by the American Cancer Society (ACS). The decrease is attributed to earlier detection through screening, increased awareness, and improved treatments.

About Susan G. Komen for the Cure
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
