What is a Pink Podium?:

AmpliVox is promoting breast cancer awareness by donating a Pink Podium to breast cancer awareness events on a free loan-per-event basis. The Pink Podium Promise, as it is called, is designed o help raise public awareness about breast cancer and to positively impact the lives and families affected by breast cancer. The pink lecterns are made of rugged hard-shell plastic that can withstand any weather, in keeping with the unpredictable conditions of outdoor events and races. They can be easily moved, thanks to their heavy-duty casters, built-in handles and minimal weight. AmpliVox delivers each lectern at no cost before an organization’s event, and the group can then keep its Pink Podium for future use.
