At the end of the 14th fundraiser organized for the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation, the Medicart/Epiderma network is proud to announce that it has raised the sum of $15,880.
Throughout the month of October, for each laser hair removal, cellulite, body contouring, microdermabrasion and peeling package sold, Epiderma donated $20 to the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation. Concerned to contribute to the well-being and overall health of women, Epiderma once again led a fundraising campaign as part of breast cancer awareness month.
