Houston – Bedding retailer Mattress Firm and mattress protection product supplier Protect-A-Bed have teamed up to together launch a campaign to raise money for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
Throughout November, which is National Pancreatic Awareness month, the companies will donate to the foundation a portion of the proceeds for each mattress protector – made by Protect-A-Bed – bought at a Mattress Firm store.
“Pancreatic Cancer takes far too many lives every year, and we hope that our contributions can aid in the effort for medical breakthroughs in prevention, diagnosis and treatment,” said Karrie Forbes, vp of marketing for Mattress Firm.
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, with only 5% of those affected surviving longer than five years. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network – www.pancan.org -- is a nationwide effort that works to advance research and support patients.
"Now that we are joining forces with Mattress Firm and the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network for this special in-store promotion, I am confident we will help put researchers one step closer to finding a cure for one the nation's deadliest forms of cancer,” said James Bell, ceo of Protect-A-Bed.
