“Pink is the color most associated with breast-cancer research,” says Vickie Gardner, vice president of Alpen Optics. “Our new line of Alpen Pink is more than just a pink binocular. With more than 40,000 Americans dying each year of breast cancer (400,000 worldwide), Alpen Optics has created its Pink binoculars to help focus on a cure, while delivering the best binocular for the best price in the marketplace.”

“The Alpen family was touched by breast cancer when our 27-year-old niece lost her battle with breast cancer 9-years ago, and Alpen Pro Staffer, Sheri Runge, mother of two, won her battle with breast cancer this year,” explains Gardner. “We’d like to do all we can to help the NBCF focus on the cure with the introduction of our Alpen Pink binoculars. We’ll sell the Alpen Pink to hunters, fishermen, back yard birders, attendees at sports events and to anyone who wants to join our efforts to focus on a cure.”
By purchasing Alpen Pink, you’ll not only demonstrate you’ve chosen the very best for your dollars spent, but you’ll also take a firm stand against the disease that’s causing havoc in so many American families today.
According to Gardner, “We, at Alpen, are taking a stand with the NBCF by focusing on the cure with our pink binoculars. Alpen encourages you to think pink when picking out binoculars this season. We also hope to inspire more companies in our industry to become involved in focusing on the cure for breast cancer.”
