FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 3, 2008 -- CHICAGO – June 3, 2008 – Weiman Products, makers of leading home care products, will support the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) and its efforts to educate and inform women about ovarian cancer risk factors and symptoms starting June 2, 2008. Weiman will make a generous corporate donation to the NOCC and implement a multi-channel campaign that supports NOCC’s mission – to raise awareness and promote education about ovarian cancer – and its commitment to improving the survival rate and quality of life for women with ovarian cancer.

“We are honored to contribute substantial funding to NOCC - an organization that is fully committed to spreading awareness and conducting education about ovarian cancer,” said Carl DeMasi, Weiman Products president and CEO. “To solidify Weiman’s dedication to the cause, we will use our product packaging, Web site, e-newsletter and additional marketing tools to increase awareness about ovarian cancer among Weiman’s national consumer and retail base.”

The teal caps will appear in retailers nationwide, including Wal-Mart, Target, True Value, Kroger, Safeway, Publix and Kmart.
