Campaign
Events and Activities

A New Campaign Message: “Win the Fight Against Breast Cancer”
The 2007 Campaign, ‘Win the Fight Against Breast Cancer’, signified the importance of bringing people together to fight breast cancer until there is a cure. The Campaign was created by Marisa Acocella Marchetto, cartoonist and author of the graphic memoir Cancer Vixen, which tells the story of how she battled and triumphed over breast cancer. Splendid created the perfect pink camouflage tank top to support the Campaign. The limited-edition tank top was a new and exciting way to reach more people with the message to “Win the Fight”.
