From a friend of a friend of Paul the BB:
Our daughter-in-law, Emily (MacInnes) Somers, created, directed and choreographed this in Portland last week for her Medline glove division as a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. This was all her idea to help promote their new pink gloves. I don't know how she got so many employees, doctors and patients to participate, but it started to really catch on and they all had a lot of fun doing it.When the video gets 1 million hits, Medline will be making a huge contribution to the hospital, as well as offering free mammograms for the community. Please check it out. It's an easy and great way to donate to a wonderful cause, and who hasn't been touched by breast cancer?

According to Snopes the above paragraph is not true. The statement below is true:
Medline donates a portion of its sales of its Generation Pink gloves to the National Breast Cancer Foundation
Giving them a hit will not get them a donation.
Sort of true and sort of false. According to Snopes - Medline does contribute a portion of profit on the pink gloves but will not be making a donation from hits on the youtube video.
ReplyDeleteStill, it is cool to see a bunch of hospital employees getting together to make a difference.
ReplyDeleteOh yes Lee -- it is an excellent video - both my husband and I have been patients in that hospital - from all the workers across the board - nothing but the most compassionate of care. I still remember the nurse who sat and listened to Jim one night when I was gone and he was fearful
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice thing for that hospital to do. Grandmere, when I first saw post the little "start the video" arrow covered the face of the woman in the OR. I thought at first it was you and I was puzzled. Turns out the white "hair" was a cap. Gave me a giggle.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann, for letting us know. I usually check Snopes for everything forwarded to me and slipped yesterday.
ReplyDeleteCharming....
