ATLANTA, Feb. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amoena, the world's leading breast care brand, understands that surviving breast cancer takes everything you've got -- determination, courage and a whole lot of attitude! So Amoena is joining with the Young Survival Coalition (YSC) to bring you an inspirational contest and nationwide search for the next Amoena Ambassador.
For more than 35 years Amoena has partnered with women during their battle to fight breast cancer, recognizing that the battle becomes a woman's Mission and she has no choice but to accept it. YSC works with women to find their inner strength and draw upon it to succeed. In recognition of every breast cancer survivor's strength and YSC's endless support in helping women tackle breast cancer, Amoena is organizing Mission Strength . We know that you deserve a medal -- or at least the chance to be an Amoena Ambassador , enjoy a spa day getaway, and support other women.
If you're a difference-maker, a charge-leader, an activist, or a trend-setter (or if you know one) tell us your story. Visit Amoena US online at: http://www.amoena.us/Mission-Strength and tell us how you have redefined strength and beauty after your breast cancer journey. Or you may enter by emailing us at info@amoena.com with "MISSION: STRENGTH" in your subject line. Enter by the deadline, March 14, 2014, and include a recent photo of yourself. Winners will be announced on April 1, 2014.* And get ready to win!
The Grand Prize includes: Three $10,000 donations to YSC by Amoena made on behalf of each of the three winners. This funding will help hundreds of young women diagnosed with breast cancer feel supported, informed and empowered. In addition each of the three AMOENA AMBASSADORS will receive:
- A one year's supply of beautiful Amoena lingerie – bra and panty sets, camisoles and flirty pieces to ensure you feel pretty.*
- A spa-day getaway to relax and unwind.*
- A makeover and photo shoot in Amoena's newest clothing lines -- such as Active, Night and Leisure wear -- and the opportunity to be featured in Amoena's magazine and other publications.*
All approved entries will appear on the Amoena website to showcase your inspirational lives and share them with others – a celebration of strength and beauty.
