New BofA products join fight against breast cancer
Bank of America announced new credit card, check card and checking account products that help support the fight against breast cancer through Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the world's leading breast cancer organization.
Bank of America will make a donation to Komen for the Cure for each new pink ribbon-themed credit card, check card or checking account opened. In addition, every time a consumer uses the credit or check card to make a purchase, Bank of America will contribute a percentage to Komen.
"This new partnership represents a great opportunity for the breast cancer movement, allowing Komen to raise significant awareness and funds for research and community programs that are critical in our fight to end breast cancer forever," Katrina McGhee, vice president, global partnerships, for Komen, said.
Consumers can sign up for the Komen Banking products at banking centers nationwide and online. Applications will also be available at select Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and Breast Cancer three-Day events beginning later this month.
Each year, more than 1.5 million people run or walk in more than 120 Race for the Cure events, and more than 40,000 people participate in 15 Breast Cancer three-Day events.
"We are very excited to have the Susan G. Komen for the Cure partnership and the availability of their branded financial services products through Bank of America," Mike Simpson, affinity management executive for Bank of America, said. "Their mission touches many lives and continues to have a great impact with the efforts to find a cure for breast cancer."
