September 19, 2013, 12:50 pm -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- $1 donation for every case of pink nitrile examination gloves sold throughout the month of October

For the month of October, RONCO will help support the fight against breast cancer by donating $1 for every case of RONCO Touch pink nitrile examination gloves sold to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. For the third year running, a campaign has been launched to RONCO distributors, encouraging them to participate by endorsing sales of this feature product in support of our “It's Time to Go Pink” campaign.

RONCO Touch is a premium pink nitrile examination glove that provides superior strength and dexterity without compromising protection. The glove is 100% latex free and powder free and comes in sizes extra-small through large – ideal for use in dental, medical examination, veterinary, beauty or general purpose applications. As an added measure of safety, this premium quality glove tears off during donning in the presence of pin-holes.

RONCO employees will also be given the opportunity to make a personal donation as they participate in a “wear pink” day in October and the Company will run social media campaigns on Twitter and Facebook. For every “pink” comment, picture or quote posted on their social media sites, RONCO will add $1 to the total donation. Followers can help the campaign go viral by sharing the hashtag “It's Time to Go Pink!” at www.facebook.com/ItsTimeToGoPink or www.twitter.com/roncocanada.

RONCO President, Ron Pecchioli, reflected, “RONCO has a strong social responsibility program and is very proud to support the fight against breast cancer. We are a company that believes in innovation and constantly bringing new ideas and products to the Canadian market. This campaign with RONCO Touch continues to grow yearly and we have received positive feedback from our customers on this great cause we have chosen to support.”

Marketing Manager, Vani Kshattriya, spoke about the importance of charitable causes as a measure of corporate growth. “At RONCO, we believe in building a strong diverse community and contributing to society's well-being. We encourage this spirit of giving among our employees by developing team opportunities for charitable giving and community involvement.
