Tomboy Tools to help fight breast cancer
9/4/2006
Tomboy Tools announced Thursday that it will introduce their first special edition pink tool in partnership with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Beginning today the women's tool and home improvement educational company will make the "Pink for a Purpose" hammer available for $14.95, and donate $6 for each hammer sold. Tomboy Tools has committed to donating a minimum of $100,000 by Aug. 30, 2007. However, the company's goal is to sell 100,000 pink hammers over the next year, contributing $600,000 to the Komen Foundation.
Tomboy Tools offers home improvement parties, much in the style of Pampered Chef and Tupperware.
It makes tools for women, but has stayed away from pink tools in the past to get away from the stereotypes that exist about women and tools.
Tomboy Tools sells high-quality, ergonomically designed hand and power tools at tool parties and educates women about home improvement projects. Tomboy Tools will now help bring awareness and educate women about breast cancer as well.
