MELVILLE, N.Y.—Henry Schein has announced that from September through December, it is offering its dental, animal health and medical customers the opportunity to join the company in the fight against cancer. By purchasing a range of pink products, customers can help support the company's Practice Pink program, an initiative designed to raise awareness and support a cure for breast cancer and other cancers.

A portion of sales from these pink products—including health care consumables, practice supplies, and apparel—is donated to nonprofit organizations to support research, prevention efforts, and early detection of the disease, and to help improve access to care.

Now in its 13th year, the Practice Pink program has raised more than $1.3 million for the fight against cancer through the Henry Schein Cares Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports and promotes increased access to care globally. In 2016, the Practice Pink program expanded to Europe, where team Schein members across the continent teamed up with supplier partners and non-governmental organizations to positively impact the lives of people battling cancer.

"Through the continued support of our customers and supplier partners, we at Henry Schein have been able to make considerable contributions to the fight against cancer, and we are pleased to see the Practice Pink program expand to the European markets we serve," said Stanley M. Bergman, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Henry Schein. "Cancer is a health issue that touches every community in every corner of the globe, and it is only by working together that we will achieve our shared goal of a cancer-free world."

U.S.-based organizations receiving support through the Practice Pink program include the American Cancer Society, Cohen Children's Medical Center of Northwell Health, Stony Brook Children's Hospital, and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
