For this year's fundraising efforts, Bali intimates reprises its Bali Blitz Play for the Cause, an interactive matching game located on the Bali Facebook page. Now through Oct. 31, 2014, Bali intimates will donate $1 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation each time the Bali Blitz Play for the Cause is played, up to $50,000.

"Every two minutes a U.S. woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, and this year, we have continued our partnership with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation to help bring that number to zero," said Vicki Seawright, vice president, general manager Bali Intimates. "At Bali intimates, we believe all women are beautiful and that beauty begins from within. We hope to motivate women to take action and play Bali Blitz Play for the Cause to support the fight against breast cancer."

"We are proud to partner with Bali Intimates again for the fifth year to support not only this campaign, but our work to advance groundbreaking research globally," said Myra Biblowit, president of BCRF. "October traditionally signifies 'Breast Cancer Awareness,' but, this year, we're turning the conversation from awareness into action with our #BeTheEnd campaign."

BCRF's mission is to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world's most promising research. Over the past five years, HanesBrands and Bali Intimates have donated more than $320,000 to help fight breast cancer.
