Orange County, California (PRWEB) May 13, 2015

In the world of lotions, sticks, creams and balms, SPF Addict offers a non- sticky, non-greasy alternative to daily sun protection – UPF 50+ sunscreen clothing. SPF Addict, manufacturer of high- quality, California-made sun protective clothing, is donating $ 2.00 of every purchase during the month of May to the Melanoma Research Foundation in honor of National Melanoma/Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

As a registered nurse specializing in the cosmetic dermatology field, SPF Addict’s president and designer Marina Arnold, R.N. has treated countless patients, young and old, with sun-damaged skin. “I realized early in my career the importance of pro-active sun protection needs to go beyond the scope of just lotions. Sunscreen lotions serve only a small role in whole-body sun protection, protective clothing is another extremely valuable and effective tool in sun protection,” says Arnold, R.N.

Manufactured with Tencel Sun® fabric made from eucalyptus wood; this fiber is extremely soft, durable, eco-friendly, biodegradable and ideal for sensitive skin. SPF Addicts fabrics are independently tested for a UPF rating of 50+, blocking 98% of harmful sun rays that can cause skin cancer and premature aging; even after 40 wet and chlorinated launderings.

This ultra-soft poncho effortlessly covers in this one-size fits all timeless style. Flattering to most body types; can be worn from the beach to a party. (California Dreamin’ Poncho MSRP: $ 60; available in plum, black, taupe, aqua, and mango)

Designed with a fitted silhouette and hip-length cut, this long sleeve top is accented with five vertical buttons along the décolleté and wrist and thumbhole cutouts for extra hand coverage.

Lymphoma Research Foundation Partners with Neiman Marcus Boca Raton in the Fight Against Blood Cancer During Annual Fashion Luncheon

Tuesday, January 13th, 2015


Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) December 18, 2014

The South Florida community is poised once again to show its support for the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) – the nation’s largest non-profit organization devoted exclusively to funding innovative lymphoma research and serving the lymphoma community through a comprehensive series of education programs, outreach initiatives and patient services – by hosting its Ninth Annual Fashion Luncheon in Boca Raton on Monday, February 2, 2015. This year, LRF is proud to partner with Neiman Marcus Boca Raton, whose new General Manager has made the relationship a priority for the high-end retailer.

“We could not be more thrilled to once again partner with the Lymphoma Research Foundation for its annual Luncheon,” said Leslie Johasky, Vice President/General Manager of Neiman Marcus Boca Raton. “This event has developed such a wonderful reputation in the South Florida community, and Neiman Marcus Boca Raton is proud to be involved with such a wonderful day for such a good cause.”

Each year, more than 5,000 Floridians are diagnosed with lymphoma – the most common form of blood cancer. The Luncheon has raised more than $ 1.1 million to-date in support of the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s mission to eradicate lymphoma and serve those touched by the disease.

“It’s really incredible to see the social community in South Florida galvanized around the Lymphoma Research Foundation year after year,” said Gladys Cook, founding co-chair of the luncheon. “This year in particular, however, we are seeing the community, led by the Neiman Marcus management, reaffirm its commitment to LRF in a truly amazing way.”

Under the leadership of co-chairs Judy Bronsteen, Gladys Cook, Toby Cooperman, Elisabeth Dalfen, Joan Hauser, and Mitzi Oreman, the South Florida Fashion Luncheon looks to continue in its tradition of connecting the elites of the South Florida philanthropic community with LRF, raising critical funds for new research programs. The afternoon’s luncheon will be anchored not only by the Neiman Marcus fashion show, but also by a keynote from leading oncologist Stephen D. Nimer, M.D., Director, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Professor of Medicine, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology.

All those interested are invited to attend one of South Florida’s premier social events, which begins at 10:30 am at St. Andrews Country Club. Individual tickets for the luncheon start at $ 125 each.
