Pink Ribbon Foundation
What have Jude Law, Joan Collins, Tamzin Outhwaite, Tracey Emin, Sir Terence Conran and Frank Skinner all got in common?They are just some of the celebrities from the world of art, entertainment and design who have come together with Portmeirion to support the Pink Ribbon Foundation and Breast Cancer Awareness 2004, with the launch of the Good Times range of fundraising mugs. In times of adversity, positive thought can have a powerful effect, whether it be a person, a place or a thing that reminds us of a good time in our lives. With support from Canon (UK) Ltd, celebrities were given a digital IXUS IIs camera and asked to take a picture of something that reminded them of a good time in their lives. Elvis Presley and Sun Studios, a beloved pet cat, a laughing grandchild, even a favourite tree. These are just some of the array of photos that have been kindly supplied by the celebrities, revealing just how personal good times can be. To view the complete range, please see below. 12,800 women die of breast cancer every year - a truly shocking death rate that simple does not need to continue. Out of the 39,200 women that are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, with proper awareness, the survival rate is high. Of those women diagnosed, 74% will still be alive five years after being diagnosed. We are really pleased that so many male celebrities have chosen to get involved with the project too, highlighting that men are not safe from this killer as 300 are diagnosed every year with breast cancer in the UK alone. THESE MUGS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FROM OUR NEW ONLINE SHOP. The Good Times mugs will go on sale in October 2004, Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To place your order, please contact one of the following :
Each mug retails at £10 from which Portmeirion will donate £1 to the Pink Ribbon Foundation.
