June 10, 2014 – For a second year, Hush Puppies has partnered with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) in their effort to promote breast cancer awareness and prevention by releasing a new pink Chaste Ballet.

To inspire more people to join NBCF’s cause to help save lives, Hush Puppies will introduce a unique studded pink Chaste Ballet shoe style. When paired with the Chaste Ballet pink ribbon shoe, the opportunity to talk about breast cancer prevention becomes that much greater. Additionally, Hush Puppies will donate $10,000 to NBCF as a Bronze Sponsor with awareness campaigns running September-October 2014. The shoes will be available through www.hushpuppies.com and select retailers.

“We invite everyone to wear our new pink Chaste Ballet to show support for this incredibly important cause,” said Shannon Kennedy, US marketing director at Hush Puppies. “We fully support the mission of the National Breast Cancer Foundation and hope that our Hush Puppies’ retail and social communities will join us in making a difference.”
