Chicago newspapers team with retail chain for breast cancer
Article Abstract:
Copley Chicago Newspapers teamed up with national retail chain Carson Pirie Scott to promote the National Cancer Awareness Month. Carson Pirie Scott made a donation to the Lynn Sage Cancer Research Foundation of Northwestern Memorial Hospital every time a Carson credit card was used to make a purchase. The company also provided shoppers with breast self- examination guideline 'shower cards.' On the other hand, Copley's four daily newspapers ran full-page ads promoting Carson's fund raising campaign.
