PureOlogy Supports Ovarian Cancer Research
PureOlogy Serious Colour Care recently donated more than $11,000 to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC). The company raised awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer by distributing literature to more than 13,000 salons during events held across the country. The company also staged a contest with their sales managers, which encouraged them to develop creative and unique programs to raise awareness. "Our work with NOCC has helped inspire and encourage our corporate employees, our sales team and hopefully all of our PureOlogy consumers," says Cheryl Markham, PureOlogy co-founder and vice president of communications. "We want to be known as a company that cares and utilizes our resources to make a positive impact on the community and potentially save lives."
