      Starting today, wireless phone users can help raise funds and awareness
for the fight against breast cancer by purchasing a new pink wireless
phone from Qwest and SANYO. Ten percent of all retail sales of the phone through
October will be donated to the Komen Foundation up to a maximum
donation of $100,000. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
These stylish and fun phones by Qwest and SANYO are now available at all 100 Qwest retail locations in Qwest's 14-state service area. In addition to Qwest retail locations, the new phones will be sold at Qwest call centers and online at http://www.qwest.com Today's debut of the SANYO pink phone with Qwest Wireless(R) also kicks off a series of efforts to raise funds and awareness for the Komen Foundation and breast cancer. Pink phones and breast cancer awareness materials will accompany Qwest's mobile marketing team to more than 200 community events, fairs and activities throughout 2006 and will reach an estimated 25 million people. Qwest employees in select cities also will participate in local Komen Race for the Cure(R) events between now and the end of October. In addition to its sophisticated pink and silver design, the phone offers the latest features and technology, including dual LCD displays, a built-in camera, walkie-talkie-style communication, wireless download capabilities and SANYO's high-quality external speaker phone. Qwest and SANYO will release two additional pink phones later this summer. About the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation: The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker to honor the memory of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died from breast cancer at the age of 36. Today, the Foundation is an international organization with a network of more than 75,000 volunteers working through local affiliates and events like the Komen Race for the Cure(R) to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease.
