Furnitureland South, the world's largest furniture retail showroom, is raising money and awareness for the fight against breast cancer.

Jamestown, N.C.-based Furnitureland South's campaign is in partnership with Bliss & Company Salon and Day Spa in High Point. Employees of Furnitureland South are donning pink hair extensions through the month of October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Extensions are available for $10 each, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the American Cancer Society. Representatives from Bliss & Company Salon and Day Spa are on location at Furnitureland South today, 10 a.m.-1:30 p.m. to apply extensions for interested employees and customers.
 
In addition, Furnitureland South turned its blog pink to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness. A link has been added to the top of the blog page to direct readers to the Web site for the N.C. Triad Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure so that interested readers can learn how they can volunteer or donate to the local chapter of the Komen charity.
 
In 1991, the Susan G. Komen Foundation handed out pink ribbons to participants in the New York City race for breast cancer survivors as a symbol of unity between women who have been affected by breast cancer. Soon after, the pink ribbon became an international symbol for breast cancer awareness.
