A testimony from a customer:

In the fall of 2009, a video was circulating on YouTube called “the Pink Glove Dance”. It was made by a hospital in Portland OR and in partnership with Medline, maker of the pink gloves. Medline donates money to breast cancer research for every case of pink gloves purchased. Many friends and co-workers shared the video with me and we thought it would be fun for us to do something similar as a medical center. The Cuyuna Regional Medical Center is a very progressive medical community with a strong commitment to breast health. We have a Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® team each year in our local Brainerd Lakes race. The Crosby Campus Cruiser’s have won the largest corporate team award each of last 10 years.

The wheels started turning and a core group of our Race for the Cure® committee members met to brainstorm. A simple little video couldn’t be that hard to make, could it? We wanted to have a key prop to wear that would represent the medical center and also bring awareness for breast cancer. The pink scrub idea was born! After contacting many scrub companies and finding only one willing to work with us for adult scrubs, we continued to be challenged for kids sized scrubs. It has always been important to include families in our race team and we hoped that everyone could be dressed similar. I started an exhaustive search online and one day decided to check on eBay. Immediately upon entering a search for “kids scrubs”, I was directed to the “scwubs” site for infants and children scrubs. They even came in the hot pink color we were looking for! I contacted Tracey at Master Brands and she was quick to respond saying her company would do any quantity and any size we needed, and in the color we desired. Once we talked about our video project, she even said they would not only give us a great volume pricing discount, but also print our logo for free. We were hooked on the awesome customer service and willingness of Master Brands to jump on board with nothing but an idea shared. Needing administrative support, we then pitched our proposal and they were sold. We decided to invite our breast health partner facility “Riverwood Health Care Center” in Aitkin MN to join in the video project. Trey from the art department was instrumental in getting our logo just right and took great interest in our project and how it came about. He made certain that what we wanted was exactly what we got, and our expectations were more than met. I know they also worked hard to get Riverwood’s scrubs ready in time.

Word spread fast about the scrub idea throughout the medical campus and soon we had taken orders for more than 500 sets. With encouragement to also register for the Crosby Campus Cruiser’s Race for the Cure® team, we nearly topped 400 to capture the largest team award once again. Staff, families and friends came out in force to walk and run on race day and many even ran the 5K decked in pink, all to spread the message that “Crosby Cares” about the people in our community and breast health. Our team included 17 survivors!

Filming for the video started the morning of the race with both the Cruiser’s and the Riverwood Ribbon Racer’s arriving early to shoot some “competition” footage. The Riverwood Racer’s wore light pink to complement the hot pink of the Crosby Cruiser’s. We made quite an impression on the crowd. We will continue filming throughout the summer to capture more “competive” vignettes between the two facilities, ultimately coming together joining forces and announcing our new breast health partnership. Our goal is to include many survivors in the filming. We will be using the song “This Town” by O.A.R. as a backdrop to the video. It’s really about the sense of community that our medical campus’ share and the feeling that “this town” spreads way beyond our city limits.

Every day there are nurses, lab techs, clinic staff, nursing assistants and more seen proudly wearing their pink scrubs to work. Kids have been spotted wearing scrubs in the community and many comment that they can hardly get their kids out of them! We are so pleased with the quality but mostly with the incredible service from everyone at Master Brands. We can’t thank you enough for all you have done to help make our project a reality. It’s still a long way from completion, but we could never have done what we have without the support of everyone at your company. With your help we will continue to spread awareness of breast cancer and work toward a cure!

With sincere appreciation,

Lisa Slepica

Benefits of Work Uniforms

Uniforms aren’t just for fast food, Wal*Mart employees, and auto workers anymore. There are many companies today who require uniforms of all of their employees from their janitorial staff to top level executives.

From The Benefits of Work Uniforms:

I worked as a mid-level manager at a large company for many years. At a different company, I would certainly have had to wear proper business attire. But everyone at this particular company had to wear uniforms. It was my first experience with uniforms (outside of sports), and I have to say that I really like the idea. While some of you may bristle at the thought of such a major constraint to your wardrobe, there are actually many benefits that come with having to wear a uniform to work. For example, work uniforms allow you to:

1. Save Money
I had a friend who worked at the Gap while we were in high school. She worked three nights a week and on weekends, but never seemed to have any money to go out to lunch or to the movies. I asked her what she was spending her paychecks on. “Well, the store policy is that we have to wear Gap clothes when we are working,” she complained. “I don’t have a lot of Gap stuff, so I have to use most of my paycheck to buy their clothes!”

That’s perhaps an extreme example, but there is some underlying truth to the scenario. The biggest clothing expense for adults is most likely their business wardrobe. Suits, dresses, slacks, blouses, blazers, and ties are all very expensive, but also very necessary in most office environments. Even if you work somewhere that has followed the “business casual” movement, you will still have to shell out quite a bit of money for appropriate attire. Clothes don’t last very long before either wearing out or simply looking outdated, which means you will have to replace a good portion of your work wardrobe every few seasons or so. And don’t forget dry cleaning costs, which can really add up after a while. With a work uniform, even if it just consists of a company shirt or blouse rather than a whole outfit, you wouldn’t have to worry about most of these costs.

2. Save Time
I’m sure we’ve all had those mornings. You know the ones. You wake up late, scramble out of bed and into the shower, then panic because you can’t decide what to wear, or even worse, don’t have anything clean to wear. With work uniforms, you will never have to spend time trying to pick out the day’s outfit. Think of how much time this will save you each morning. You can sleep an extra 15 minutes every day! Depending on how many uniforms you have, you probably won’t be stuck without anything clean to wear, either. The company I worked for started each employee off with two shirts. Then we could purchase as many additional shirts as we wanted for $7 each. I had a total of eight uniform shirts, so I could go a pretty long time without having to worry about doing laundry.

3. Get More Accomplished
I don’t know about your office, but a friend of mine worked in a place that had a pretty active rumor mill and gossip group among the staff. She said that she would sometimes accidentally walk in on a bunch of women who gathered in the restroom to make malicious comments about the way others were dressed. I guess there was one young woman in particular that liked to show off her figure. It was just the usual combination of jealousy and pettiness that fueled these gatherings, but the bottom line is that work wasn’t getting done. If everyone in that office had to wear the same uniforms, it would be one less thing for people to waste time on. Granted, those who love to gossip would in all likelihood just move on and find other things to criticize, such as hair or makeup, but at least there wouldn’t be anything to say about clothes.

4. Be on Equal Footing
Finally, I think it’s important to mention that uniforms bring everyone to a certain level of equality. When wearing regular business clothes, it’s easy to note differences among the staff. The guy who wears Armani suits is probably making just a bit more money than the guy who buys his suits off the rack at J.C. Penney. These kinds of differences can bring unnecessary tension or resentment into the workplace. Uniforms help eliminate some of these more obvious disparities.

If a uniform program is something you think your company would like implement. Master Brands is the company for you, we offer a wide array of uniform products, and we don’t lock you into a contract either. We want you to do business with us because we’re worthy of it, not because you’re locked into a contract to do such.
