The global Pink Ribbon campaign aims to raise awareness of "early detection, rapid cure" of breast cancer for the women in the world. In Japan, this campaign began to be recognized via media from 2000, but very little women take the breast cancer screening in Japan comparing to other countries.

Toray PPO has supported this campaign on site proceeded by the Japan Ladies Tennis Federation, to inform the "mammography" effectiveness to find the cancer in early stage. Sony Ericsson WTA Tour also supports the Pink Ribbon campaign, as well as the players around the world.

This year, our supports will be enhanced not only the appealing activity but a mammography car is prepared for further awareness. The applicant with advance reservation will take the examination there. We believe this activity will help the "early detection" and leads to examination in regular basis, as well as enhance the awareness of the mammography.
