October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and there are plenty of pink office products that support the cause.

Medline Generation Pink Exam Gloves

Medline is, once again, raising awareness through dance with their Pink Glove Dance Competition.  It started with one hospital in Portland, Oregon showing their support for breast cancer awareness…now it has grown into a national phenomenon.  Their Pink Generation Exam Gloves help increase breast cancer awareness. Latex-free exam gloves are made with patented third-generation stretch synthetic vinyl technology. This innovative polymer formulation provides outstanding sensitivity, softness and comfort. A portion of the proceeds from these exam gloves will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation to help fund free mammograms for those who cannot afford them.

It started with Medline, the country’s largest privately held manufacturer and distributor of healthcare supplies.  In an effort to open the line of communication between healthcare workers and their patients, Medline created a line of pink exam gloves called Generation Pink.  The hope was to get people talking about breast cancer.  Medline also pledged to donate $1 for every case purchased to the National Breast Cancer Foundation to fund mammograms to those who could otherwise not afford them.

To help spread the word about their pink products and commitment, Medline came up with the idea to create a video featuring healthcare workers wearing the Generation Pink gloves and dancing.

Here is the result of their idea:

The video caught on and was featured on several national news broadcasts and other national and local media outlets.  As a result, it has now become a movement complete with its own website, PinkGloveDance.com.

The response was so great, new videos came pouring in from all over the country.  Not just from the healthcare facilities, but elementary schools, a minor league baseball team, and a woman’s basketball team all submitted their own pink glove dance videos.  This sparked the 2010 release of Pink Glove Dance Sequel:

You can view more pink glove dance videos on their YouTube channel.
