Orange County, California (PRWEB) May 13, 2015

In the world of lotions, sticks, creams and balms, SPF Addict offers a non- sticky, non-greasy alternative to daily sun protection – UPF 50+ sunscreen clothing. SPF Addict, manufacturer of high- quality, California-made sun protective clothing, is donating $ 2.00 of every purchase during the month of May to the Melanoma Research Foundation in honor of National Melanoma/Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

As a registered nurse specializing in the cosmetic dermatology field, SPF Addict’s president and designer Marina Arnold, R.N. has treated countless patients, young and old, with sun-damaged skin. “I realized early in my career the importance of pro-active sun protection needs to go beyond the scope of just lotions. Sunscreen lotions serve only a small role in whole-body sun protection, protective clothing is another extremely valuable and effective tool in sun protection,” says Arnold, R.N.

Manufactured with Tencel Sun® fabric made from eucalyptus wood; this fiber is extremely soft, durable, eco-friendly, biodegradable and ideal for sensitive skin. SPF Addicts fabrics are independently tested for a UPF rating of 50+, blocking 98% of harmful sun rays that can cause skin cancer and premature aging; even after 40 wet and chlorinated launderings.

This ultra-soft poncho effortlessly covers in this one-size fits all timeless style. Flattering to most body types; can be worn from the beach to a party. (California Dreamin’ Poncho MSRP: $ 60; available in plum, black, taupe, aqua, and mango)

Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) February 18, 2015

The Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) – the nation’s largest non-profit organization devoted exclusively to funding innovative lymphoma research and serving the lymphoma community through a comprehensive series of education programs, outreach initiatives and patient services – hosted its Ninth Annual Luncheon in Boca Raton on Monday, February 2, 2015, raising over $ 140,000 for critical research programs and patient services. The event, which packed St. Andrews Country Club to capacity once again, treated attendees to an exclusive fashion show by Neiman Marcus Boca Raton, a pop up boutique and makeovers courtesy of Dior Beauty, and presentations from leading lymphoma expert Dr. Stephen D.

“Year after year, we are continually impressed by the support the South Florida community shows to LRF through these luncheons,” said Gladys Cook, founding co-chair of the luncheon. “This year’s event illustrated once again that we can make a real difference in advancing lymphoma research and providing important educational resources to those affected by this blood cancer by supporting the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s mission.”

Neiman Marcus Boca Raton returned in 2015 as a partner to the South Florida Luncheon, helping to raise funds and awareness for the disease and the critical research programs supported by LRF.
