LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 9, 2014) - While they will never admit it, women actually snore! But be careful when asking, because if she does, this is a subject that until now has not typically been discussed with family and friends. That has all changed with the invention of ZYPPAH® (pronounced Zee Pah, it's Happy Z spelled backwards). Now, the Pink ZYPPAH is coming to households around the world and it's changing the way people think, talk about, and deal with snoring.
Although the pink version of the hybrid oral appliance was designed years ago, the company kept it a closely held secret. This was done to ensure that every unit sold would result in $5.00 being donated to Susan G. Komen.
ZYPPAH's founder and CEO, Dr. Jonathan Greenburg wanted to wait until the national partnership with Komen was approved before making the Pink ZYPPAH available to the public. The timing of the announcement coinciding with National Sleep Apnea Awareness Day 2014, which is an added bonus, will hopefully attract the attention of the mass media and turn April into a pink month just like October.
ZYPPAH Hybrid Oral Appliances were developed to help people stop snoring and get a great night of sleep. The Pink ZYPPAH takes the most popular snoring appliance, endorsed by celebrities, and makes it "female-fashion-friendly." More importantly, the Pink ZYPPAH is about year-round Breast Cancer awareness and an unwavering commitment to raising money for an important cause.
In May 2012, a month before ZYPPAH launched its Hybrid Oral Snoring Appliance, the NY Times posted an article linking Sleep Apnea to Cancer. It was this story that led ZYPPAH's founder and CEO, Dr. Jonathan Greenburg to reach out to Komen.
Dr. Greenburg commented, "Having treated thousands of patients, celebrities and professional athletes for sleep apnea, nearly all of them initially thought they just had a snoring problem, it was important for me to get people thinking and talking about snoring. While most see it as a nuisance that can be ignored, there are millions of people who snore, and among the snorers there are an alarming number of people with undiagnosed sleep apnea." Greenburg continued, "By getting people to think, discuss, and act when it comes to snoring, I know lives will be saved. To be in a position to raise awareness about two deadly threats to families globally with one Pink ZYPPAH is a dream come true."
"We're so pleased to have ZYPPAH as a partner in our mission to end breast cancer," said Carrie Glasscock, Komen's Director of Corporate Relations. "This program will help us raise vital funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer."
From April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015 ZYPPAH will donate to Komen $5 from every "Pink ZYPPAH" sold, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $25,000.
