Following on the heels of its popular “Pink Podium Promise” donation program, AmpliVox Sound Systems is launching a companion donation program to provide free pink megaphones to breast cancer organizations. The new “Pink Power” megaphone is adapted from AmpliVox’s Mini-Meg, an all-weather portable 10-watt sound system that can carry voices over 100 yards. AmpliVox will offer these free megaphones to groups including Komen for the Cure affiliates, American Cancer Society chapters, and any other organization hosting a breast cancer-related event.
Additionally, in support of prostate cancer research and education, AmpliVox will also fabricate its signature Pinnacle lectern in the official blue color of the prostate cancer awareness movement and provide a lectern free of charge to any organization for use in fundraisers, meetings, or educational events. This new campaign, “Podiums for Prostate Health,” follows in the footsteps of AmpliVox’s Pink Podium Promise program, which has placed pink lecterns with over 200 breast cancer advocacy groups since its inception in 2010.
AmpliVox CEO Don Roth, a resident of Lincolnshire and a prostate cancer survivor, sees his new donation program as a natural match of product and purpose. “AmpliVox products are designed to make people’s voices be heard, and the message of cancer organizations can be truly life-saving,” Roth said.
AmpliVox has been involved with breast cancer awareness causes since 2010, when it began donating pink podiums to breast cancer groups. These lecterns, manufactured in indestructible polyurethane, have been placed with about 200 groups nationwide for use at races, fundraisers, and educational events. One podium even made its way to the U.S. military in Iraq for use in educational programs. AmpliVox covers all expenses related to the Pink Podium Promise, including shipping. Under the new program, AmpliVox will offer Pink Power megaphones under the same terms.
