September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Each year, approximately 20,000 American women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and about 15,000 die from the disease. When detected at its earliest stage, the five-year survival rate for ovarian cancer is 93%. Unfortunately, too few women know the warning signs, and many don't seek help until it's too late.

Symptoms include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full too quickly, urgent or frequent urination, fatigue, and indigestion.

Do your part to fight ovarian cancer with a fundraiser or education campaign featuring such popular awareness items as awareness wristlets, awareness ribbon pens, lapel pins, keychains, and more.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month!

Take some time this month to remind family, friends, co-workers, employees, and clients to stay current with their scheduled vaccinations.

Because parents are now enrolling their children in school, college students are getting ready for a new year, and healthcare workers are gearing up for the upcoming flu season, August is the perfect time to raise awareness about the importance of immunizations.

Crestline’s healthcare specialty store features dozens of items that are perfect for promoting immunization awareness.

Hand sanitizer makes another great giveaway for promoting disease prevention. While vaccines are an important step in safeguarding against serious disease, proper hygiene practices, including frequent handwashing, are equally important.

Promote Literacy!

September is Adult Literacy Awareness Month. In the United States alone, an estimated 30 million adults read at an elementary school level or lower. Adults who can’t read face enormous challenges, not only in finding and keeping gainful employment, but in all aspects of their lives. Crestline supports ProLiteracy, a national organization that promotes literacy as a means to end poverty, injustice, discrimination, and violence. What can you do to help end adult illiteracy?

Bookmarks are a nautral choice for promoting literacy awareness. Crestline has many different styles of bookmarks, including basic bookmarks, magnifying bookmarks, holographic bookmarks, and photo bookmarks.

Journals are another great promotional items for literacy campaigns. See more on Crestline's literacy awaeness specialty page.
