Naomi & Nicole® Begins Its Fundraiser to Benefit the Cancer Research Institute

NEW YORK - Sept. 6, 2016 - PRLog -- Naomi & Nicole® has announced the kickoff of an exciting, charitable fundraiser.  It will donate $3.00 for each one of its 12 best-selling, Wonderful Edge® panties that's purchased in its brand new color, English Rose.  The donations will benefit the Cancer Research Institute.  Its campaign will continue until its total donation goal of $10,000 is reached.  The $3.00 per-unit-sold donation will apply whether the full, or discounted 3-for, price is applied to the panty sale.

The Cancer Research Institute (CRI) founded in 1953, is the world's leading nonprofit organization focused exclusively on finding ways to use the human immune system to prevent, treat, and cure all types of cancers.  These efforts have contributed over decades to the creation of the exciting new category of cancer treatments known as cancer immunotherapy (CI).

And what is cancer immunotherapy?  Most commonly, CI employs the use of monoclonal antibodies, checkpoint inhibitors, vaccines, adoptive cell therapy, or oncolytic virus therapy to stimulate the body's own immune system to fight cancer cells and malignant tumors.  CI's taking its rightful place alongside the better-known, long-standing categories of cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.

CI has a number of therapeutic advantages.  It's powerful, as cancer cells are attacked systematically throughout the body.  At the same time, it employs great precision, as the immune system is trained to attack only cancer cells, not healthy cells.  Also, once the immune system is properly "trained," it can maintain this ability to fight cancer cells over time.  And, with continued research, CI should be effective for use against almost all types of cancers.

The Naomi & Nicole® Wonderful Edge® styles that will be available in English Rose, and be a part of this fundraising effort, belong to this brand's three, best-selling, panty collections: the A103 Hipster, A104 Hi-Cut, A105 Brief, and A106 Boy Short (from the 3 for $27 Microfiber Collection); the A143 Hipster, A144 Hi-Cut, A145 Brief, and A146 Boy Short (from the 3 for $30 Clean Finish Microfiber Collection); and the A163 Hipster, A164 Hi-Cut, A165 Brief, and A166 Boy Short (from the 3 for $30 Lace Trim Collection).

Wonderful Edge® panties are available in the United States exclusively through NaomiandNicole.com (http://www.cupidintimates.com/naomi-nicole/daywear-1/panties).

The patented Wonderful Edge® is the technological innovation that's revolutionized the women's panty industry.  This silicone finish, located on the backs of the leg openings, prevents each of these garments from riding up and producing wedgies.  This edging stays in place all day long, even while the wearer exercises.  Applied directly to the fabric, without the need for seams or elastics, it remains invisible under all types of fashions and so eliminates visible panty lines. And, since it consists of many, distinct rows of silicone that stretch with the fabric, rather than just a single, rigid band, the Wonderful Edge® is surprisingly breathable, cool, and comfortable.

About The Cancer Research Institute

The Cancer Research Institute (http://www.cancerresearch.org/about) drives the advancement of research and development of cancer immunotherapy techniques by awarding grants and fellowships to scientists at the best universities and clinics around the world.  These distribution decisions are made by its Scientific Advisory Council on which sit Nobel Prize winning scientists, members of the National Academy of Sciences, and members of the Academy of Cancer Immunology.

To accomplish all of this, the Cancer Research Institute relies on donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations.  In furthering the development of CI, it's proven itself to be an extremely well-run, charitable organization, having one of the lowest overhead expense ratios among nonprofit corporations.  In fact, the three leading entities that monitor the activities of charitable organizations – Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, and the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance – all give the Cancer Research Institute outstanding marks for accountability, transparency, governance, and, most importantly, efficiency in applying the donations it receives directly to the programs and services it delivers.

About Naomi & Nicole®

Naomi & Nicole®, first introduced in 2002, is a brand of women's intimate apparel made by Cupid Intimates that's comfortable, functional, and innovatively designed.  Its diverse lines of affordable shapewear incorporate great fabrics, cutting-edge product features, and updated looks for the contemporary customer.

Naomi & Nicole® shapewear offers Amazing Light®, Comfortable Firm®, firm, and extra firm control through silhouettes made for the upper torso, lower body, and complete figure.  Most styles feature revolutionary Wonderful Edge®, Wonderful Panel®, and/or Wonderful Seam® technology that deliver stitch-free smoothness, unrivaled comfort, fit adjustability, garment stability, and targeted shaping results.  And some styles incorporate Back Magic®.  In some shapers, this feature is an amazingly comfortable and effective combination of flexible stays and a silicone finish that ensures that the back of each garment doesn't slip, slide, or roll down.  This stability allows the shaping fabric to function more effectively around the wearer's mid-section, reducing bulges at the midriff, controlling lower back fat, preventing muffin tops, and providing some measure of back support.  In other shapers, the flexible stays work solely with the fabric to flatten the wearer's tummy in a most effective manner.
