\"\"<\/a>Curves of Tyrone, part of the world\u2019s largest franchisor of fitness clubs, today announced it will be teaming with the American Cancer Society\u2019s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer fundraiser during October Breast Cancer Awareness month to create awareness of breast cancer and to raise funds to help eliminate it. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women in the United States.
\nCurves of Tyrone has plenty of ways for everyone to get involved. New members who join between October 8 and 20 will pay only $25 for the service fee when they bring in a minimum $25 donation to the American Cancer Society or show proof of a current mammogram.
\nCurrent members who make a minimum $5 donation to the American Cancer Society will receive a donation certificate that will hang in the club, and can be filled out \u201cin honor of\u201d or \u201cin memory of\u201d a loved one. Each $5 donation also entitles the member to put her name in a treasure chest and be eligible for weekly prize drawings all through October.
\nAnyone in the community can purchase Curves\u2019 diane fragrance products and help in the fight against breast cancer. Curves founders Diane and Gary Heavin will donate 10 percent of the wholesale sales of all diane fragrance products in October to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Members who purchase diane fragrance products will also have their name put in the treasure chest. The fragrance collection includes eau de parfum, Shea body butter and refreshing body wash, and makes a great holiday gift or stocking stuffer.
\n\u201cCurves of Tyrone is committed to helping the women in our community live healthier, stronger lives,\u201d said Karen Sandusky, Manager. \u201cBreast cancer will touch about one in every eight women, but breast cancer death rates are going down. This decline is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and having access to improved treatment. By encouraging women to get mammograms and rewarding them for doing so, we are helping to fight and even eliminate breast cancer in our lifetime. That\u2019s something we take very seriously.\u201d
