Bella Brava Launches Dual-Benefit Donation Campaign for Domestic Violence and Pancreatic Cancer

2 Months, 2 Causes, 1 Color = a World of Difference

Stockton, CA (PRWEB) October 3, 2004 -- Bella Brava, LLC has launched its first two-month donation campaign to benefit two critical causes, Domestic Violence and Pancreatic Cancer. In honor of each causes National Awareness Month, October and November respectively, a portion of Bella Bravas sales will be donated to charitable organizations supporting each cause.

The causes may be different, but they share many similarities. Families are devastated and lives are lost as a result of both domestic violence and pancreatic cancer", says Lorinda Morales, Bella Brava President-Founder, "Funding and awareness are imperative to reducing each issue's impact on individuals and our society."

Lorinda says that although her business may be small, she believes every effort can lead to a greater good. She explains that both issues have touched her life and is pleased to be able to "give back". Her companys campaign is three-pronged, offering customers a flexible and easy way to help make a difference:

·25% of the companys net retail profits from October sales of all Bella Brava Maria (Gentle Lavender) Apothecary products will be donated to the National Latino Alliance for Elimination of Domestic Violence, a not-for-profit organization supporting awareness of Domestic Violence.

·25% of the companys net retail profits from November sales of all Bella Brava Rosa (Soft Jasmine) Apothecary products will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, a not-for-profit organization supporting awareness of Pancreatic Cancer.

·100% of the companys net profits from October and November sales of Bella Brava Signature Merchandise will be distributed evenly between the two organizations. Both causes utilize Purple Ribbon campaigns and Bella Brava is recognizing that by offering many of their Signature items in Limited Edition purple styles.
