If you weren’t already aware, October is national Breast Cancer awareness month. As the nation focuses on increasing the awareness of breast cancer and raising funds for research during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Swiffer and Walmart are partnering with Cleaning for a Reason to help make life a little easier for women battling cancer.
Fighting cancer is difficult, but living with it is even tougher. That’s where Cleaning for a Reason steps in. Cleaning for a Reason was recently named by Reader’s Digest as one of the 25 Best Things to Happen In America. This nonprofit engages maid services throughout the United States and Canada to provide professional house cleanings to women undergoing cancer treatment. The organization’s network of more than 1,000 local maid services “brings meaning to cleaning” by helping women focus their energy on fighting cancer.
At Walmart stores nationwide, during the month of October, you will see branded pallets of pink Swiffer products in Walmart stores. The display branding will expose millions of Walmart shoppers throughout the United States and Canada to Cleaning for a Reason, in hopes of bringing greater awareness for the organization. In turn, greater awareness will lead to more maid services helping more women battling cancer. If you’re interested in more information, you can search here to find a maid service partner near you.
This year, each patient who has their house cleaned during the month of October will receive a Swiffer and Walmart care package. The package includes Olay Regenerist Microsculpting cream, Crest Pro Health Clinical Gum Protection toothpaste, Oral B Pro Health Clinical Pro Flex toothbrush, Swiffer Duster 360, Pantene Beautiful Lengths shampoo and conditioner and Bounty paper towels.
