“PARA’KITO™ goes beyond just being a mosquito repellent brand -- through this partnership with YSC we are assuring that we make a difference in the lives of those who are affected by breast cancer,” says Patrick Goguillon, Partner, PARA’KITO™ USA Corp. “Our wristbands now stand for a cause that can unite people of all backgrounds and interests for a greater movement.”
With more than 12,000 young women (under 40) expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017, the goal of this collaboration is to use the financial contributions to provide support that will directly improve the lives of thousands of young survivors and ensure that no young woman is left to face breast cancer alone. For nearly 20 years YSC has focused on critical issues unique to those diagnosed with breast cancer and through donations is able to offer greater resources and connections to support and empower these young women.
“We’re pleased to begin this new partnership with PARA’KITO™, and we are grateful for PARA’KITO™’s commitment to helping young women facing breast cancer,” says Jennifer Merschdorf, Chief Executive Officer of Young Survival Coalition.
