The 2007 Prevention Purple™ Celebrity Auction has LAUNCHED!

Pepperface again partners with your favorite celebrities to support the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence. Socially conscious celebrities transform signature Pepperface Edition Palm Defenders into customized symbols of support to end violence against women. These one-of-a-kind exclusive models, decorated with Swarovski® crystals, paint, glitter, and even a few with precious stones including rubies, sapphires and diamonds will be auctioned off beginning April 30, 2007 with all of the proceeds benefiting the NCDSV.

“One in three women will be attacked with the intent of sexual assault in her lifetime,” said National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence Executive Director, Debby Tucker. “We are excited to partner with Pepperface.com to create awareness for this cause.  This partnership allows us to bridge the gap from awareness towards prevention as well as generate funding to further efforts of the NCDSV.

Sexual assault is one of the most underreported crimes, yet almost every minute, a woman in the U.S. is sexually assaulted.  The “Prevention Purple” Campaign was designed to generate public awareness, with an emphasis on personal safety as a lifestyle choice.  Recognizing the obvious marriage between the device and the issue, the Pepperface.com Edition Palm Defender is the designated awareness symbol for the campaign. Women toting the designer defense spray are promoting the cause and taking the extra step toward prevention by protecting themselves.  The “Prevention Purple” Celebrity Auction is being launched to utilize the influence of celebrities to further increase public attention on this vital issue.

“The Campaign is dedicated to raising awareness for the issue and funding for the NCDSV, and welcomes the participation and support of Celebrities who have chosen to fight to end violence against women”, said Keith Puckett, Co-Chairman of The Prevention Purple Campaign.

“Pepperface is committed to doing our part in the fight against violence,” said Mladen Djanković founder of Pepperface.com. “Understanding that this issue affects women and their families everywhere, we share the belief that there is an urgent need to support awareness and education efforts.”
