‘Pégate’ For Breast Cancer Research.

Even though Hispanic women have lower rates of breast cancer compared to non-Hispanic white women or African-American women, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among Hispanics (1).

In an effort to help further the groundbreaking research conducted by City of Hope Cancer Center, 3M has introduced Post-it Super Sticky Notes imprinted with a pink ribbon, the universal symbol for breast cancer awareness.

These special pink ribbon Post-it Super Sticky Notes are available in a three-pack and single-pack. Twenty cents from every specially marked single-pack sold, and 50 cents from every specially marked three-pack sold will be donated to City of Hope Cancer Center for cancer research. The pink ribbon Post-it Super Sticky Notes can be found in most retail outlets and office superstores. The typical retail price of the single-pack is $1.99, and the typical retail price of the three-pack is $3.99.

In addition to the pink ribbon notes, 3M will also be creating the World’s Largest Pink Ribbon – standing approximately 70 feet tall on a billboard in Times Square, and constructed out of 75,000 Post-it Super Sticky Notes. TV personality Daisy Fuentes, whose mother is a breast cancer survivor, is scheduled to place the final pink Post-it Super Sticky Note on the World’s Largest Pink Ribbon at the unveiling during the first week of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. As a result of this initiative, the maker of Post-it Super Sticky Notes will donate an additional $75,000 to City of Hope Cancer Center – one of America’s best cancer hospitals according to U.S. News and World Report, and a leading research and treatment center for cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
