Launched in 2006, Henry Schein Cares partners with the American Cancer Society every year to raise awareness and support a cure for breast cancer through the Henry Schein's Practice Pink program.
The Henry Schein Practice Pink campaign is launched annually to hundreds of thousands of Henry Schein Dental, Medical, Special Markets, and Zahn customers. Henry Schein offers a selection of pink merchandise produced by the Company's many participating supplier partners. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these products is donated to the American Cancer Society for lifesaving research, prevention and early detection of the disease, and to support programs for thousands of cancer patients and their families.
By mobilizing the participation of Henry Schein's supplier partners and customers in this initiative, Henry Schein Cares helps raise awareness of this important national health issue and provides concrete support to the American Cancer Society's goals.
