Janal cases - a long term and highly valued Penn Elcom customer - raised over $1150.00 with special signed T-shirts.
The Case For The Cure T-Shirts were signed on the Penn Elcom booth at NAMM by a selection of stars who were lined up by Janal Cases, including legendary funk bassist Bootsy Collins, Kelly Hansen of rockers Foreigner, drum addict Ya'el Biz, pop-rock band Hero's Last Mission and Canadian alternative actress and performer Molly Parker.
For a two hour slot on the second day of the exhibition, these T's were available from the stand for a donation to the Case for the Cure campaign of $10.00 .
A crew of Janal Cases and Penn Elcom female employees gave up their time to attend the show on the morning of the event. They walked the floor handing out fliers to visitors, in the process helping to create a buzz and generate interest in the signing event - all dressed proudly in their Case For The Cure tops.
The signing event was also promoted enthusiastically by both companies through their Facebook and Twitter channels, all contributing to make it a great success.
Arlene Alejandro, the event co-ordinator for Janal Cases says, "Thanks to everyone at Penn-Elcom, Janal Cases, Music Connection Magazine, Heroes Last Mission, Pen.Pixel.Studio and NAMM for making the fundraiser for A Case For The Cure at NAMM 2012 a big success."
The money has been donated to two breast cancer charities, the City of Hope and the Susan G Komen for the Cure Foundation.
As part of an ongoing Janal Cases breast cancer fundraising campaign, Penn Elcom is donating pink grip handles which are being offered - fitted free of charge - on cases ordered by Janal's customers for a donation of any size, starting at $25.00.
