Day & Night Beauty said it has taken steps to play its part in the ongoing Breast Cancer Awareness efforts by gifting staffers mammogram screenings in a recent Awareness is Power Initiative.

Day & Night Beauty is the first salon and spa in Jamaica to operate both during the day and night.

In a statement to the media, Day & Night Beauty observed that for the last five years, it has been committed to nation-building through various charitable donations.

The company confirmed that this year that in an effort to raise breast cancer awareness among members of the Day & Night Beauty family, staff were gifted mammogram screenings in a recent Awareness is Power Initiative.

Jamaica Cancer Society vouchers were given to team members on October 14, 2022 as Day & Night Beauty marked the observance of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Team members will be able to use the vouchers to get mammograms for themselves or they may donate them to female relatives or members of their communities.

“As a lifestyle brand run by women, Day & Night Beauty is focused not only on the wellness of our clients but the wellness of our team and their families,” the company’s founder and CEO, Daenia Ashpole, commented. “As we mark Breast Cancer Awareness month, we wanted to build awareness amongst team members while also providing support to their immediate community.”

Ashpole said Day & Night Beauty is aware of the difference that early detection can make, so it felt it was important that its team members and the women in their lives have access to mammograms.

Ashpole also expressed appreciation to the Jamaica Cancer Society, which provided the vouchers to execute one of the company’s yearly charitable donations.

Manager of Day & Night Beauty, Synovia Lescene also commented on the initiative and expressed appreciation to the company’s directors on behalf of the team and emphasised the importance of routine screening for early detection and overall wellness.

At the handing-over ceremony, the company which is known for its all-black ensemble alsoannounced a shift in company policy to now include pink tops or scrubs on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

“This initiative is in keeping with our solidarity with breast cancer survivors and building continuous awareness in our communities beyond the month of October,” Ashpole noted.

According to the Ministry of Health & Wellness, breast cancer is the most common cancer among Jamaican women. In 2020 there were 1,208 new cases of breast cancer in Jamaica.
