Introduction

• Hu-Friedy and the Breast Cancer Network of Strength (formerly Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization™), a Chicago-based national nonprofit organization with the mission to ensure, through information, empowerment and peer support, that no one faces breast cancer alone, formed a special bond in the fall of 2006 when Hu-Friedy created a special periodontal promotion, "Inspired by You", focused directly toward dental professionals.

Pink Ribbon Instruments

• Hu-Friedy has made supporting its customers and the fight against breast cancer a huge priority.

• In 2006, Hu-Friedy created a special promotion, “Inspired by You”, focused directly toward hygienists.

• A unique SH6/7 scaler was created (featuring pink grips and the Y-ME ribbon) and a donation was made to the then named Y-ME organization with every offer redeemed.

Network of Strength

• The promotion was a huge success and Hu-Friedy found an open door to directly touch our customers, and to continually seek out further ways to help in the fight against breast cancer

Members of the Network of Strength (formerly Y-ME) organization thank Hu-Friedy for its donation. Hu-Friedy President and CEO Ron Saslow is pictured holding the check.
