The Roys Join The Pink Arrow Project

Nov. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Mary J. Hale, Founder and CEO of the PINK ARROW PROJECT, is proud to announce that THE ROYS have joined the organization to help raise awareness of the campaign.  What began as an organization of Archers Helping Archers has now expanded into helping cancer survivors and their families outside the archery community and funding ground-breaking cancer research.  

“We are so proud to have brother/sister duo, Lee and Elaine Roy, help represent the PINK ARROW PROJECT,” said Hale.  “They are such sweet and talented people, and we are so happy to have them on board.  We recently announced THE ROYS’ label-mate and acclaimed vocalist Carrie Hassler as our first musical artist to help introduce our organization to the music world.  We are extremely proud to have THE ROYS also bringing awareness to folks that might otherwise never have known about our project. ”

The PINK ARROW PROJECT also has an “On Target” fundraising campaign to promote their line of “Pink” archery products benefiting cancer research.  The “On Target” campaign features the fictional character, “Karing” played by Atlanta native and model, Kerri McDaniel.  The character appears on the promotional posters, stickers, the website and more.
