SmartPak Continues Commitment
in the Fight against Breast Cancer

With donations exceeding $50,000, SmartPak Teams up for
Avon Walk for breast cancer.

SmartPak, a Plymouth, MA based company serving horse and dog owners, is a company that
thinks pink. With a high percentage of female customers, many of whom have shared their stories
of fighting breast cancer, SmartPak recognizes that this disease is one of women’s biggest health
concerns. Since the 2005 launch of their exclusive SmartPink™ product line to benefit breast
cancer research, SmartPak has donated over $50,000 to breast cancer research.

The SmartPink line started out small, but in response to its overwhelming popularity, SmartPak
has added many new products including dog coats, tote bags, and winter blankets. Additional
new products are constantly being developed. "The SmartPink product line is a great way for 
people to contribute to the research we hope will uncover a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime,"
said Rebecca Minard, founder and senior vice president of SmartPak. “We continue to be touched
by the stories of our customers bravely fighting this disease.”

To show its support locally, a team of SmartPak employees will be lacing up their sneakers May
17th and 18th, to join the annual Avon Walk for breast cancer. Over the past 3 months, the team
has been raising funds and training for the 39.3 mile walk, which begins at UMASS Boston. To
participate, each walker must raise a minimum of $1,800 in donations. “Since several of our
employees’ families have been affected by breast cancer, this event is close to home” said
Customer Care Manager and walk participant Nicole Ray. “The walk is an incredible celebration
of life, where you get to meet wonderful people sharing a common bond. We are so excited to
participate for the 2nd year!”

Best known for its daily dose, recyclable SmartPak supplement packaging, SmartPak strives to
offer innovative and convenient solutions to their customers while doing their best to "tread lightly
on the earth." Since its inception, SmartPak has served over 100 million supplements in SmartPaks,
estimating that they’ve kept roughly 1 million plastic buckets out of landfills by dispensing in the
recycled (and recyclable) SmartPaks. To learn more about SmartPak and how you can make a
