Dots raises awareness for breast cancer

GLENWILLOW, Ohio — Dots, a leading women's fashion retailer, is partnering with Susan G. Komen for the Cure for the fourth consecutive year to help raise awareness of the importance of breast cancer prevention, detection and treatment with the "Girlfriends Giving Back" program.



"We are thrilled to kick off another champion year for a worthwhile cause," said Dots CEO, Lisa Rhodes. "With the support of the Dots community, both customers and associates, the 'Girlfriends Giving Back' program can continue to help fund ground-breaking research and life-saving community outreach programs."
