PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - April 15, 2009) - PNY Technologies®, Inc. (“PNY”), a global leader in flash memory, USB flash drives, solid state drives, computer memory upgrade modules, as well as consumer and professional graphics cards, has proudly joined efforts for the second time with Susan G. Komen for the Cure® in its promise to end breast cancer forever.
As part of the continued partnership, PNY is donating $100,000 to Komen for the Cure, the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. PNY’s involvement is part of their ongoing commitment to causes that impact the community.
Beginning this May, PNY’s new limited edition pink 4GB Attaché USB Flash Drives will be available from retailers in specially marked packaging. Both product and packaging will feature the Komen’s signature pink ribbon logo. This is the first of several PNY products that will bear this insignia, with 8GB Attaché USB Flash Drives and 4GB and 8GB SDHC™ Flash Cards rolling out later in the year.
“Our partnership with PNY Technologies allows consumers a great way to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure through devices that are used on a daily basis. And since PNY’s products can be used at work and home, they serve as a reminder to be aware of your breast health no matter where you are,” said Katrina McGhee, vice president of global partnerships at Komen for the Cure.
“Through our Komen for the Cure products and specially marked packaging, PNY aims to drive awareness to our consumers about one of the most common cancers among American women,” said Tony Gomez, vice president of sales and marketing at PNY. “We are privileged to connect to such an inspirational organization and strive to help the millions who suffer from this deadly disease and support the promise to end breast cancer.”
