FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SAN DIEGO, CALIF – March 26, 2012 — Med Systems has begun using the image of a young girl blowing out birthday candles with the phrase “Celebrate Every Breath” as part of its brand. With each breath being so precious to people suffering from respiratory illnesses and each birthday particularly special especially if they confront shortened life-spans, the mere act of blowing out birthday candles makes each event that much more worthy of celebration.
Symbolic of the celebration of life are the birthday candles that festoon a cake and light up a child’s face. Given this homage to joy, Med Systems has begun a campaign to distribute birthday candles emblazoned with “Celebrate Every Breath” on the packages.
These are not just any candles. The brightly colored hand-dipped artisan Mission Candles are made in Ashland, Oregon as part of the Lithia Springs Program for at-risk youth. At this sheltered-vocational program for students of the Lithia Springs School, the youth learn job sills, earn money to pay restitution or prepare for independent living through vocational instruction and counseling.
Mission Candles is a non-profit company that uses all of its proceeds from selling the candles to provide services to program clients. This Lithia Springs program is one of several programs that are part of Community Works, a social services provider in Jackson, County. Community Works was formed in 1996 with the merger of Youth Works, Lithia Springs, and Crisis Intervention Services.
The birthday candles Med Systems is using for its “Celebrate Every Breath” campaign represents not only the breath of life vital to those with respiratory diseases, but the positive changes that can turn around the lives of at-risk youths through productive work. These are, indeed, reasons to celebrate.
Med Systems, Inc. is a family-owned company that has been providing respiratory care solutions since 1976. Their products have become a mainstay of over 6,000 hospitals and clinics across the country and numerous individuals engaged in home treatment.
