Atlanta-based woman-owned startup HALTZGLOVES has been awarded the worldwide contract with the Susan G Komen Foundation to produce the Pink Glove.

HALTZGLOVES CEO Deidre Goodwin has chosen "Bringing a HALTZ to Breast Cancer" as their company slogan for the Campaign.

Goodwin's own personal story has led to this amazing moment. "My mom's best friend passed away from breast cancer. My parents stepped in to assist with the care of her children. It is hard to believe that 20 years later we are still talking about breast cancer. Millions have been affected by breast cancer and I want to change that. I am so honored to know that HALTZGLOVES can have a part in finding a cure," she stated.

HALTZGLOVES' international contract with the Komen foundation comes with large manufacturing challenges. Goodwin's company is using a Georgia-based company to assist with manufacturing process. "We are pre-selling the Pink HALTZGLOVES on our website to help offset manufacturing. We are also launching a Kickstarter Campaign which will offer thank-you gifts for early contributors to our campaign," she said.

Buyers can pre-order through May 30th. And orders will ship in early September, just in time for October Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

"HALTZGLOVES is creating a beautiful pink high-quality glove that is visible at night." she continued, "So we can keep the world safe and 'bring a HALTZ to breast cancer'. Last year millions around the world participated in walks and runs to support awareness and research to cure breast cancer, so all of them should be wearing the pink HALTZGLOVES", says Goodwin..

HALTZGLOVES was originally created when Goodwin was almost struck by a car while directing traffic. Her original HALTZGLOVES can be seen for 1250 linear feet and are used by various police departments, crossing guards and others opting for the extra safety when directing traffic or crowds.
