Los Angeles, CA, November 20, 2018 -- Dedicated to supporting and empowering women for over 20 years, ROXY has joined forces with The Keep A Breast Foundation™ to raise awareness about breast cancer prevention.
After many years supporting one another, the leading global youth-based breast cancer prevention organization and the leading female actions sports brand have partnered and created a limited-edition t-shirt to encourage women to check themselves and become their own health advocate.
The piece – a white shirt stamped with rainbow letters celebrating the partnership – aims to get the message out by starting the conversation around early detection of breast cancer: 100% of the proceeds will go towards breast health education and support.
"I'm grateful that Keep A Breast has been part of the ROXY family for so many years. The women behind this brand from artists, to athletes to musicians, inspire us to live to our fullest and protect our own health and the health of our beautiful world." – Shaney jo Darden, Founder, Keep A Breast
“ROXY has been dedicated to empowering women for over two decades, and there is no better way to do so than by helping women take their health into their own hands. We are proud to partner with The Keep A Breast Foundation™ and to help give this important message the visibility and support it requires.” – Danielle McKenzie, Global Head of Marketing, ROXY
40% of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women who feel a lump (John Hopkins Medical Center). It is, therefore, crucial to educate young women to self-check.
The ROXY x Keep A Breast t-shirt is now available in stores and on www.roxy.com

The Check Yourself! App supports users with their monthly breast self-check by teaching them how to perform a self-check using animated gifs as well as allows them to schedule an automatic monthly reminder. Available in the Apple App Store and Google Play.
