OZ-Hami and growers commit to Pink Ribbon
By selling a special Pink Ribbon assortment, OZ-Hami and several growers, with support from Dutch Flower Foundation and Coloriginz, raised €7,500 for Pink Ribbon, the national organization dedicated to the fight against breast cancer.
As many as 1 in 7 women in the Netherlands will develop breast cancer. About 3,000 people (99.2% of whom are women) still die each year in the Netherlands from breast cancer. That’s about 9 every day.
Pink Ribbon raises money for projects and research to prevent and better treat breast cancer. In addition, Pink Ribbon is doing everything possible to make life after breast cancer as enjoyable as possible.
Together for Pink Ribbon
After successful previous years, OZ-Hami and Pink Ribbon, joined forces again this year during international breast cancer month of October, to support the fight against breast cancer.
Together with several growers, a special selection of flowers was put together from Oct. 2 to 6. For every stem sold from this selection, money was donated to Pink Ribbon. The goal was to create as much awareness as possible for breast cancer research and raise money for Pink Ribbon. Together with the participating growers, (Marginpar, Ansu, Roach Roses, Lugt Lisianthus, Herburg Roses, Together2Grow, Qualily, Multi Color Flowers, Colours of Nature and Laan Tulips), a contribution from Coloriginz and from Dutch Flower Foundation, a wonderful sum of 7,500 was raised. “A great collaboration with our growers and a wonderful initiative to support the fight against breast cancer,” according to Reinier Haasnoot, Manager of Marketing & New Business at OZ-Hami.
