Heraeus donates proceeds to breast cancer research

Heraeus is once again recognizing National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and continuing to help fund breast cancer research by donating a potion of proceeds from the sale of Venus White, its take-home teeth-whitening gel, to breast cancer research.

"Philanthropy is a vital pillar in our business and we are committed to being a responsible global leader," said Christopher Holden, president of Heraeus Kulzer, in a press release. "We are inspired by the tireless work of those seeking a cure for breast cancer."

Although breast cancer deaths have declined, it remains the second leading cause of cancer death in women, the company noted.
