AUSTIN AREA BUSINESSES STEP UP TO FIGHT LUNG CANCER<\/strong><\/p>\n

Retailers and restaurants in the Austin area are signing up for The Happy Lungs Shopping Card<\/a> program to support medical research on new therapies to beat RET positive lung cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This deadly form of lung cancer is prevalent in young women from 30 to 60, most of whom have never smoked and who are still in the process of raising families. Researchers at four major U.S. cancer centers have joined the efforts to expand their patient registry and find successful treatments to alter fatal outcomes.<\/p>\n

The Shopping Card program has two scheduled launch events to introduce this special discount card to the public. An event on April 30 at Lilly Pulitzer<\/strong> will kick off card sales, and an event on October 27 at Diamonds Direct<\/strong> will launch the shopping card promotional period that runs October 28 \u2013 November 6<\/strong>. Hearth & Soul has selected The Happy Lungs Project as their May nonprofit partner, and will host an event on May 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cLilly Pulitzer Domain is honored and excited to celebrate The Happy Lungs Project,\u201d says Lindsay Garner, Pulitzer Store Manager. \u201cWe believe in making the world a brighter place by bringing awareness, conversation, and community around those impacted by RET positive lung cancer.\u201d During the April 30th launch, 10% of net proceeds will be donated to the Happy Lungs Project, according to Garner.<\/p>\n

Shoppers\u2019 use of the Cards will spur early holiday shopping with 20% discounts<\/strong>, and proceeds will benefit The Happy Lungs Project<\/a>, a nonprofit foundation.<\/p>\n
