Breast Cancer Awareness
Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign
A World Without Breast Cancer is in Our Hands™
Overview
In 2005, Medline made a very conscious decision to create a breast cancer awareness campaign with a single vision: A World Without Breast Cancer Is in Our Reach. Nearly a decade later, Medline’s campaign has helped make significant strides to improve the lives of everyone affected by the disease – patients, survivors, families of those who lost their battle and healthcare workers, to name a few.
We are proud to partner with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) because we share in their mission to save lives through early detection and to provide free mammograms to those in need. Throughout the year, we actively build awareness through global initiatives like the Pink Glove Dance, using social media to send our message around the world.
Since 2005, Medline has donated more than $1.7 million to the NBCF, which is derived, in part, from pink product sales, including Generation Pink gloves.
Thank you for your continued support of Medline and our breast cancer awareness campaign.
Pink Glove Dance
This year, we are excited to announce our sixth annual national Pink Glove Dance video competition.
Awareness Events
Medline hosts several breast cancer awareness events throughout the year to support awareness, early detection and prevention, including our Breast Cancer Awareness Breakfast at AORN. Medline was also the inaugural sponsor of the touring art exhibit: Voices and Visions, Standing on the Bridge between Health and Disease.
To find a National Breast Cancer Foundation partner facility that provides mammograms, diagnostic services, and patient navigation for women in need visit National Breast Cancer Foundation Patient Services.
Pink Products
Each year, Medline donates a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Medline brand PINK products including our signature pink gloves, scrubs, physician gowns, masks and caps, to the NBCF.

In partnership with the NBCF, Medline hosts “Beyond the Shock®,” a free, comprehensive online guide to understanding breast cancer. It is a resource for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, a place for loved ones to gain a better understanding of the disease and a tool for doctors to share information.
