Fabutan Sun Tan Studios Kicks Off ‘Ray of Hope’ Campaign for Breast Cancer Research

CALGARY, AB – OCTOBER 1, 2008 – Today, Fabutan Sun Tan Studios announced the kick-off of their annual “Ray of Hope” fund raising campaign for breast cancer research. The fundraiser coincides with the start of “Breast Cancer Awareness” month.

During October, Fabutan locations across Canada, will be asking customers to give a “Ray of Hope” to help the 1 in 9 Canadian women who are diagnosed with breast cancer. For only $10, you can add 125 minutes to any tanning package, and the $10 will then be donated to the Vitamin D Society for breast cancer research.

Each October, Fabutan studios across the country have worked together to support research done towards finding a cure for this disease. “We are thrilled to be able to provide the Vitamin D Society with these annual donations, as it gives Canadian researchers the opportunity to conduct research trials on what effects increased Vitamin D levels have on Breast Cancer,” said Fabutan President, Doug McNabb. “It’s gratifying to know that Canadian researchers are helping the more than 22,400 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer in Canada, through their findings,” said McNabb.

Over the past number of years, the “Ray of Hope” campaign has contributed more than $344,000 to breast cancer research.
