As a breast cancer charity, focusing on prevention rather than detection sets this group and this effort apart. That\u2019s why Smart Tan encourages you to get involved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost tanning businesses support breast cancer charities at some point in the year, so why not support a charity that is actually promoting a message that is in line with what we know about vitamin D \u2014 that natural levels are associated with a significantly lower risk of breast cancer,\u201d Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy said. \u201cThis is just an excellent non-profit program for you to support through your tanning business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an easy turn-key operation for your salon: Smart Tan is distributing fundraising\/awareness kits for the non-profit Vitamin D Foundation, which supports the Breast Cancer Natural Prevention Foundation. Proceeds support the non-profit groups, and the fundraising kits enable your stores to earn back the cost of the kits. It\u2019s a win-win-win for your business, your community and for the non-profit charities you will be supporting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/smarttan.com\/store\/category\/18_Breast%20Cancer%20Prevention\"><strong>Click here or call 800-652-3269 or 866-795-3755 in Canada to order your salon fundraising kit.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/smarttan.epubxp.com\/issue\/59143\/97\"><strong>Click here to read more about the program in Smart Tan Magazine.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tanning salons are gearing up this May to join a coalition of businesses supporting a breast cancer charity that promotes vitamin D sufficiency as the most powerful breast cancer prevention strategy.
