The Art of Strength: OtterBox Raises Awareness, Funding with New Cases for iPhone

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, protective case manufacturer OtterBox® introduces two graphic cases to the Commuter Series® StrengthSM collection. The “Soar” and “Victory” options are now available for the Apple® iPhone® 4 and iPhone 4S.

“Breast cancer affects almost everyone, in one way or another,” said Curt Richardson, OtterBox founder and CEO. “With these new cases, we gave all of our employees a chance to contribute to the expansion of the Strength line of cases by sharing their personal stories.”

The new Commuter Series cases feature a strength-inspired design, as well as a quote printed on the interior of the case about strength and what it means. Quotes were submitted by OtterBox employees and two were chosen by an internal vote to be included on the cases.

These graphic cases join the original pink-and-white Strength cases available for the Apple iPhone 4/4S, HTC EVO 3D and the BlackBerry® Torch™ II. Ten percent of the purchase price from each OtterBox Commuter Series Strength case is donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade.

OtterBox has partnered with the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade since 2008 in its efforts to support finding a cure for breast cancer and advancing access to care for all. From May 2010 through May 2011, OtterBox donated $179,072 through the sale of its Commuter Series Strength cases and hopes to top that with this year’s commitment to providing strength to endure, support and triumph.

About the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade:

Since the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade launched in 1992, Avon breast cancer programs in more than 50 countries have raised almost $700 million for research and advancing access to care, regardless of a person’s ability to pay. The Avon Foundation for Women – the world’s largest corporate-affiliated philanthropy focused on issues that matter most to women – awards funding to beneficiaries ranging from leading cancer centers to community-based grassroots breast health programs to support breast cancer research and access to care. In addition to receiving generous support from Avon Products, Inc., and its sale of Avon “pink ribbon” products, the Foundation raises funds through a variety of events and walks, such as the U.S. Avon Walk for Breast Cancer series, which is the Foundation’s largest fund-raising source.
