Quarter Sheets (and polos) for a Cause
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting women today. New statistics project that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. While statistics also say incidence is on the decline, it is still important to continue to research and provide support to organizations that are helping to improve our lives. That’s why it is so special that the Potomac Valley Dressage Association has put together the PVDA Ride for Life, a fundraiser benefiting the Johns Hopkins Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Center.
Unique Equine is extremely honored to have been asked to make special quarter sheets for the Ride for Life to be held this weekend in Maryland. quarter sheets were requested for a ceremony to honor four equestrians who lost their lives to breast cancer. The symbolism of these quarter sheets hit hard as they were being assembled - sadness that these women, and so many others, have lost their lives to breast cancer, but empowerment that others are taking steps to help the cause and remember these riders for their fight.
We were inspired to do more to help. Unique Equine is now offering pink ribbon polos for sale on our website. 10% of total sales (not just proceeds) will go to the Johns Hopkins Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Center.
Visit Unique Equine’s Pink Ribbon Shop for more info. More UE Pink Ribbon products will be introduced this summer. You can also check out SSG’s pink ribbon Gloves for Hope and Wahl’s pink ribbon clippers (with free pink ribbon hat). Each manufacturer donates a portion of sales to breast cancer research. Whether you have been affected by breast cancer or you know someone who has, we can all do more to help.
