The annual campaign raises funds for the American Cancer Society.
For the third consecutive year, Microcopy, a manufacturer of products for the dental industry ended the year with its annual “Pink to Make You Think” campaign.
As in past years the Microcopy NeoDrys saliva absorbents went pink for the "Pink to Make You Think" campaign to promote breast cancer awareness. A portion of the sales of all pink NeoDrys from the months of October through December were donated to the American Cancer Society.
For over 100 years, the American Cancer Society has worked relentlessly to eliminate cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy and service.
