HydroPeptide Fundraises For The American Cancer Society’s Look Good Feel Better Programs

Nov. 8, 2012 - PRLog -- Issaquah, Wash. – HydroPeptide is donating over $3,000 to the American Cancer Society’s Seattle Queen Anne office with the hope of increasing awareness and availability of Look Good Feel Better programs to women cancer patients.  The Issaquah, WA-based skin care  company’s donation is enough to cover the expense of 96 wigs for women undergoing chemotherapy treatment.  The mission of Look Good Feel Better (LGFB) is to help women deal with the cosmetic effects of cancer treatment with greater confidence.  

Annual nationwide statistics indicate that currently only half a percent of LGFB participants are Washington state residents.   As a skin care company, HydroPeptide hopes to change this with a multi-pronged approach consisting of donations of both time and money.  The company contributes the expertise of its in-house estheticians to conduct Look Good Feel Better program workshops and dedicates the month of October to fundraising for the program by donating a portion of proceeds from sales of the beauty brand’s Limited Edition Pink Kits.  2012 marks HydroPeptide’s fourth year in a row of raising funds and awareness for a breast cancer cure.  The company plans to maintain this annual tradition of donating resources to the cause.

“All the money will be going to American Cancer Society’s breast cancer research and breast cancer services, including the management of the Look Good Feel Better program,” said Amber Guinotte, the Quality of Life Manager at the American Cancer Society’s Seattle office.  “We are so grateful for all HydroPeptide does to create a world with more birthdays, we couldn’t do anything without the tireless efforts of people like you!”
