Oct. 03, 2016 02:48AM PST
Genetics InvestingMolecular diagnostics company Genetic Technologies announced today that it will be conducting a promotional campaign around the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events.
Molecular diagnostics company Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX: GTG) (NASDAQ: GENE) (“Company”) announced today that it will be conducting a promotional campaign around the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events. This program will commence at the Susan G. Komen Dallas Race for the Cure in Dallas, on October 15 2016, which coincides with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Two contests will anchor the initiative and will feature, in person, BREVAGenplus spokesperson and Susan G. Komen advocate, Verizon IndyCar series driver, Pippa Mann.
“We are pleased to join Susan G. Komen in the world’s largest fundraising initiative to fight breast cancer,” commented Mr. Eutillio Buccilli, Chief Executive Officer of Genetic Technologies Limited. “By participating at these Race for the Cure events we reaffirm our commitment to supporting the important work Komen does on behalf of the breast cancer community. We are pleased to have Pippa on site in Dallas for this Race to help us raise awareness of the importance risk assessment plays in the prevention and early detection of the disease.”
Participants who visit the BREVAGenplus booth, which will be located in the Sponsor Expo Area, south of the Main Stage, will be encouraged to fill out the BREVAGenplus Quiz at that time, and will be entered to win an iPad mini. Pippa will be present at the booth to greet participants and to discuss the threat represented by breast cancer and the importance of risk assessment, especially for women with little to no family history. Breast cancer will affect 1 in 8 women during their lifetime. In parallel, the Company will be conducting a social media contest whereby the first 100 participants will receive a signed Pippa Mann poster. In order to enter the contest, participants need to re-tweet or share one of BREVAGenplus’ social media posts or use the hashtag #KnowYourRisk.
