[23-October-2018] |
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Oct. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sientra, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIEN), a medical aesthetics company, today announced the recipients of its inaugural Sientra FULL CIRCLEâ„¢ grant program. This month proceeds from a portion of each breast tissue expander sold in 2018 will be dispersed among eight U.S.-based, nonprofit breast cancer organizations with missions to support breast cancer aid, research, patient outreach, advocacy, and/or prevention. Sientra FULL CIRCLE is a first-of-its-kind charitable program to support nonprofits in the breast cancer community that are committed to making a meaningful difference. Sientra donates $25 from every OPUSâ„¢ breast tissue expander sold to create the FULL CIRCLE fund. The Sientra FULL CIRCLE Steering Committee, comprised of an independent team of board-certified plastic surgeons, reviewed more than 25 grant applications. The following eight recipients were selected based on their commitment to building a brighter future for the breast cancer community, demonstrated by their existing programs and initiatives.
"As a plastic surgeon who treats breast reconstruction patients, Sientra's generous investment will allow us to better support our patients, and their families, with the care and resources they need during treatment and recovery," said Dr. Lynn Jeffers, Medical Director of St. John's Breast Center. "We are honored to be recognized and selected for our work and will use this funding to serve our patients and community." Sientra is the first and only medical aesthetics company to support an annual philanthropic program providing grants to nonprofit organizations focused on breast cancer issues. This marks the first year of this annual initiative.
