October marks National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many throughout the spa industry are doing their part to contribute to the cause–from day spas donating services in support of cancer patients to skincare manufacturers turning their products pink and allotting proceeds to charity.

One of the most recognizable charities is the annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Thousands assemble to raise money for underserved cancer patients during this event, being held Oct. 10 in New York City this year.

Event participants work hard to collect signatures and contributions all year and must complete a 39.3-mile course–so they could use a little pampering. ZENDALS, a global spa design and product-manufacturing firm, is stepping up to treat these good Samaritans. It’s awarding every walker with a pink MinQ robe the night before the event.

The New Jersey-based business regularly gives back to the community through the ZENDALS Community Program, a nonprofit organization developed to support charities and promote environmental sustainability. The company’s line of bedding and robes includes products made from eco-friendly fabrics.

For additional information on ZENDALS Community Program or to preview the 2009 ZENDALS Spa Collection, call 888.ZENDALS or visit the company website.
