March 11, 2010 – COLCHESTER, CONN. – S&S is launching a new line of pink physical education products, available May 15, that include a basketball, flying disc and playground balls. A donation will support the NBCF and its mission to spread knowledge and foster hope in the fight against breast cancer.

ā€œWe will find a cure, but until we do, we need organizations like the National Breast Cancer Foundation to provide preventative services and help give women the hope they need to win this monumental battle,ā€ said S&S Co-President Hy Schwartz. ā€œWe should never underestimate hope. It’s what gives women fighting breast cancer the hope and support they need to recover.ā€

S&SĀ® Worldwide, a family-owned company for more than 100 years, believes in giving back on a local and national level. While its primary business is improving the social fabric with products that help people to play and learn, S&S proudly leads community efforts like cleaning up the town green in its hometown of Colchester, raising awareness of the obesity epidemic and supporting national groups like YMCAs, NASPE, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and now, the NBCF.

ā€œBreast cancer touches so many people. These are our friends, families, neighbors and our customers,ā€ said Co-President Adam Schwartz. ā€œWe must all come together to defeat this dreadful disease. The valiant efforts of the NBCF help save lives and we’re proud to support them.ā€

The new pink products will be co-branded with S&S’s Gator SkinĀ® or Spectrumā„¢ names, as well as the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.Ā® logo.
