UTS closed off the breast cancer awareness month of October with a donation in the amount of $2500 to the Positive foundation. The contribution represented part of phone sale proceeds generated during the month of October.
To highlight breast cancer awareness month and in keeping with the various events and activities organized by the Positive Foundation, Chippie put a variety of pink phones on sale during the month of October. UTS, the company offering mobile services under it’s Chippie brand, pledged part of the proceeds of this sale towards the Positive Foundation. ‘The sale was very successful and phones were sold out fairly quickly’ says UTS Marketing and Communication Officer, Ivy Lambert ‘The offer on the pink BlackBerry Smartphone was especially popular. We were delighted to see this kind of response from customers, while raising awareness through the campaign. That part of these proceeds would go towards supporting the foundation that does so much in the month of October to raise awareness on the island is only natural to us. We raised a certain amount with the sale and added to that to come to the round figure of $2500. We commend the foundation for their good work and also feel that radio personality Elektra deserves special mention. She has dedicated countless hours to the planning and coordination of so many events in the past month and I am sure that the foundation is thankful for her tireless efforts on their behalf.
