ROCAWEAR Lends support to Susan G. Komen to fight Breast Cancer



ROCAWEAR LENDS SUPPORT IN RECLAIMING WOMEN FROM BREAST CANCER. From October 1 through December 31, 2009 Rocawear will donate 5% of the retail price of its special edition Roc for the Cause Polo to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Circle of Promise with a minimum guaranteed donation of $20,000.

Breast Cancer continues to impact people from all backgrounds; there are significant differences within the mortality rates among racial groups. From 2000-2003, African American women had a 36 percent higher death rate than Caucasian women, giving them the poorest survival rate of any other racial or ethnic group for Breast Cancer.

The Roc for the Cure Polo is cotton and spandex with a five snap closure and ruching at bust. The polo will be available in black and white, each with a pink detail, and can be purchased for $44 at Macy's and Rocawear.com.

Monica's new show airs on BET this Tuesday!


After a brief hiatus from the music industry, Monica is back in the spotlight with an intimate, profound docu-drama that takes a look at her day-to-day world in the new original BET series MONICA: STILL STANDING. Beginning Tuesday, October 27 Monica will open her heart and life to viewers every week at 10:00 pm* and take them on her personal journey of survival and enlightenment. Viewers will have the chance to experience the many faces of Monica as she balances family, deals with trials, triumphs and health challenges, records her fifth album, "STILL STANDING" and tackles the hardest job of all - being a full-time mother of two young sons.

"It was very scary stepping into the type of situation that would expose me and my life," said Monica. "But I think that there are so many kids now that are aspiring to do exactly what I've done and I felt like that was worth me putting myself on the line so they would really understand what it's like to try and juggle both a music career and personal life."

Even with all of the success in her entertainment career as a Grammy® Award-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and actress, Monica's life has not been without its challenges. Yet, through the spiritual guidance of her parents, family and fiancĂ©e she withstood the storms of life and that same support keeps her standing today. Strong, poised and vivacious, Monica wants to show viewers and fans that anything is possible once you set your mind to do it.
