Volk Optical
Donation to breast cancer research with each pink ring lens purchased
Mentor, Ohio (August 14, 2009) – Volk Optical has developed an exclusive line of pink-ringed lenses to support the philanthropic efforts of ophthalmic products distributor Pioneer International. Pioneer is celebrating its 10th anniversary by giving back and has chosen The American Cancer Society’s - Making Strides in Breast Cancer as recipient of the anniversary event. During its “Making Strides” promotion, $30 will be donated to breast cancer research for each Volk specialty lens purchased.
The rings of Making Strides lenses are the signature pink of breast cancer awareness and are engraved with the awareness ribbon. The specialty finish changes only the color of the ring; customers can expect the same superior clarity and expert craftsmanship that have made Volk’s patented, double aspheric, glass lenses the industry standard. Pink Volk 20D, 78D, 90D, and Digital Wide Field lenses will be available exclusively from Pioneer.
“Researchers in the fight against cancer are the true pioneers,” says Valerie Nicola, CEO, Pioneer International. “The combined contributions of Pioneer, Volk and our customers represent a united effort towards new discoveries, and a better understanding of cancer and its treatment.”
To order Volk Making Strides lenses, contact Pioneer International at 1.888.206.5380 or visit www.pioneerinternationalonline.com.
