Action conditions for organising an event or promotion

We are extremely grateful to everyone who organises an action or event labelled Pink Ribbon for KWF Kankerbestrijding. With the Pink Ribbon label, KWF Kankerbestrijding aims to prevent breast cancer, treat it better and make life after breast cancer as pleasant as possible. Therefore, KWF Kankerbestrijding funds raised with the Pink Ribbon label fund projects and research that contribute to this goal. A lot of money is needed to fund these studies. That's why we would love it if you would help us. To ensure that your action or event matches our mission and objectives, we apply the following conditions:

• You will take action in aid of KWF Kankerbestrijding with the Pink Ribbon label and you hereby declare that your action or event is in line with our mission: a better and longer life for the breast cancer patient.

In addition, we do not consider actions and events that focus on nudity or breasts to be appropriate. Erotic or pornographic actions or events are not allowed.

Or: ‘Per product sold, we will donate X% of the sales price to KWF Kankerbestrijding for the Pink Ribbon label’. If you are unsure about how to communicate about the donation, please contact us at acties@pinkribbon.nl.

Tips 

• A (personal) motivation why you have chosen your action(s) for KWF Kankerbestrijding's Pink Ribbon label is very inspiring to read for your clients & relations, or for your family, friends and colleagues. On www.pinkribbon.nl you can find more information about KWF Kankerbestrijding's work with the projects, which have been recruited with the Pink Ribbon label.
• If you want to use photos or texts of others, remember to ask permission from the photographer, the people in the photo and/or the author of the text.
• This is in connection with intellectual property rights and the privacy of the people involved.
• If you hang promotional material in public areas, remember to ask permission for this, if necessary.

Other stipulations

Smoking: Because of its anti-smoking policy and the clear relationship between smoking and cancer, KWF Cancer Relief never wants to be associated with the tobacco industry. Within the framework of your activities, you therefore do not involve organisations operating in the tobacco industry.
Also, you try to portray your action/event as a non-smoking activity.

Pharmaceutical industry: if in any way you involve organisations operating in the pharmaceutical industry in your activities, consultation with KWF Kankerbestrijding is always required. Restraint is also required when collaborating with the cosmetics industry and the ‘commercial medical industry’. If in doubt, consult with the relevant contact person at KWF Cancer Control.

Alternative medicine: cooperation with persons or institutions in the field of alternative medicine is not desirable, consultation with your KWF Cancer Relief contact person is necessary.

Alcohol: given the conflicting interests (alcohol promotion by the industry versus alcohol moderation by KWF Cancer Relief), KWF Cancer Relief does not cooperate with the alcohol industry. If your action or event is co-sponsored by the alcohol industry (like many music events), this responsibility lies with you and not with KWF Kankerbestrijding. The agreement is that the Pink Ribbon label's action vignette will never be displayed next to an alcohol industry expression. No direct relationship can be made between the alcohol industry and the Pink Ribbon label or KWF Kankerbestrijding. Always inform your contact within KWF Cancer Control.

Hazardous (chemical) substances: from KWF Kankerbestrijding's point of view, it is not desirable to cooperate with the (petro)chemical industry. Many companies work with carcinogenic substances. If in doubt, ask your contact person at KWF Cancer Control.

Nutrition: KWF Cancer Control maintains the maxim that there is no such thing as a healthy or unhealthy food but only an (un)healthy diet. Cooperation with the food industry is in most cases in a grey area, which KWF Kankerbestrijding prefers to be left out of. Therefore, be careful never to place the Pink Ribbon label's action vignette with that of a food product. What is possible is sponsorship by, for example, the greengrocer, a baker, etc. If in doubt, ask your contact person.

Other: in addition to the above categories, there are a number of other types of companies that KWF Kankerbestrijding prefers not to work with for various reasons. These include the sex industry, the tattoo and piercing industry (Getting a tattoo or piercing can pose health risks. For Tattoo shops, piercing studios and permanent make-up specialists, it is therefore important that they have a GGD licence that this is done safely. The GGD only issues these after an inspection.), the arms industry, business activities with risks of exploitation of children and women, extreme political movements and forms of discrimination.

In addition, KWF Kankerbestrijding looks at the intentions of the organisers of an action and ensures the integrity of the design of an action.

FYI

KWF Cancer Control never uses the phrase/words ‘fight against breast cancer’.

About 9 people (including men) still die every day from the consequences of breast cancer. All these people would have loved to survive, but, sadly, they did not succeed. Using ‘fight breast cancer’ could give the impression that survival is a choice: if you try hard enough, or fight enough, you could overcome breast cancer. This is painful, especially for those around the deceased. After all, we all know that fighting does not necessarily lead to survival. That is why we do not communicate about the fight against breast cancer.

Promotional materials

Through our webshop, various (promotional) materials can be ordered to dress up your event or promotion with Pink Ribbon branded materials (ribbons, donation box, etc.).
