During the months of September and October 2006, Digital-Tutors has partnered with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in the fight against breast cancer. A portion from all proceeds earned from the sale of Digital-Tutors' training products in September and October will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Central Oklahoma Affiliate, with a donation goal of $5,000. Digital-Tutors' fundraising efforts also include providing all customers with pink ribbons to show support and participating in the Race for the Cure, where members from Digital-Tutors will be among the millions of participants from around the world participating in the 2006 Race for the Cure.
"We are so appreciative of Digital-Tutors' fundraising efforts. We rely on the generosity of companies to help fund life-saving breast health research, education, screening and treatment," said Lorna Palmer, exec director of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Central Oklahoma Affiliate. "With more businesses like Digital-Tutors coming on board, we are confident we will be able to find the cure even sooner."
