DIABETES AND OTHER HEALTH CAUSES
Of course, breast cancer is not the only health cause in need of awareness items. From diabetes to heart health to autism, there are dozens of ailments with cures that require heavy advocacy and fundraising. Karen Sherrill, director of marketing for Hixson, Tennessee-based Gold Bond recommended the company’s Circle Tape Measure for diabetes or heart-related causes. “Waist measurement (the ratio of the waist to hip) is a primary indicator of heart disease and diabetes,” she said, citing the growing research supporting stomach fat’s specific correlation to type 2 diabetes, which in turn can lead to heart disease. As for the many awareness walks and runs associated with such causes, Weinstein suggested offering achievement awards for those who place highest or raise the most money.
