Philosophy has teamed up with singer Amy Grant to release a special song, “She Colors My Day,” as well as a bubble bath and sketch book to promote breast cancer awareness this month.

Here are the details from the press release:

she colors my day kicks off in October to coincide with breast cancer awareness month and help raise funds and awareness for EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund, an organization dedicated to developing an early detection biomarker test so that women’s cancers can be detected years before current tests allow.    she colors my day has been created for the sole purpose of finding a cure for women’s cancers for mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends around the world. 

Inspired by the artwork of her daughter, Cristina Carlino (founder of philosophy and art of grace) and her friend, Stuart Mathis, authored and co-created a heartwarming song called she colors my day that celebrates the relationship between a mother and her daughter.  The uplifting song was recorded by multi-platinum artist Amy Grant, and its lyrics have inspired both a philosophy fantasy bubble bath ($20) and an art of grace keepsake gift and sketch book ($20) to build hope and awareness for all women’s cancers.  philosophy has also created a special microsite, www.philosophy.com/shecolorsmyday (http://www NULL.philosophy NULL.com/), to allow women everywhere to download the single for $0.99 and support the cause in a number of other ways.  philosophy, art of grace and Amy Grant will donate 100% of their net proceeds from the sales of the products and song to the entertainment industry foundation’s women’s cancer research fund. 

Check out the site, download the song, upload your photos, and purchase some indulgent bubble bath, taking heart that 100% of the proceeds will be going to the Women’s Cancer Research Fund.
