Retail Radio Supports Breast Cancer Research

Online, September 15, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Dr. Ernie Bodai working with Retail Radio on breast cancer messaging goal is to sell billionth fundraising stamp this year.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Retail Radio is kicking things off by creating and sharing messages promoting breast cancer awareness featuring a leading doctor in the fight against cancer.

The custom messages will be distributed to Retail Radio's clients. Retail Radio provides in-store music and other sensory branding services for stores, restaurants and other businesses throughout the United States and Canada.

The messages will feature Dr. Ernie Bodai, CEO of the non-profit CureBreastCancer, Inc. Bodai is a Kaiser Permanente surgeon who has dedicated a major portion of his life to raising funds for breast cancer research. It was Bodai's idea to have the United States Postal Service create the Breast Cancer Research Stamp. The stamp was released in 1998 and is the best-selling stamp in post office history. Currently, 965 million stamps have been sold - raising $93 million for breast cancer research.

Bodai recently spent an afternoon in the Retail Radio studios making custom messages for retailers, restaurants, pharmacies, shopping centers and other businesses. Bodai and Retail Radio are raising awareness in hopes of helping the post office sell the billionth Breast Cancer Research Stamp before the end of 2013.

"We are thrilled to be working with Dr. Bodai to raise awareness for such an important issue," said Bill Louie of Retail Radio. "Great strides have been made against breast cancer in recent years, and research is a big reason. We hope everyone hearing these messages will go out and buy more of the stamps and enable more research."

The messages created by Retail Radio will help retailers large and small to promote breast cancer awareness among their customers.

The Breast Cancer Research Stamp was the first fundraising stamp ever created by the post office - thanks in large part to a strong lobbying effort by Dr. Bodai. The stamp has been so successful in the U.S., 16 other countries have issued the stamp - with many more countries planning to sell the stamp in the future.
