GARDENA, Calif., February 9, 2011 — Barco’s Nightingales Foundation℠, a non-profit focused on helping children with medical needs, today announced that ABC Entertainment Group’s new online store at www.greysanatomyscrubsbybarco.com will directly benefit the Foundation through the sale of Grey’s Anatomy™ Professional Wear by Barco. One dollar from every Barco Uniforms garment purchase of $25.00 or more from the new Grey’s Anatomy™ store will be donated to the Foundation.
“The generosity of ABC Entertainment Group in supporting our Foundation is truly a marvelous outcome of a long-standing relationship with Barco Uniforms,” said Michael Donner, President and CEO of Barco’s Nightingales Foundation and President and CEO of Barco Uniforms. “This remarkable commitment to supporting Barco’s Nightingales Foundation through its newest Grey’s Anatomy™ online store is an example of how businesses can work together to make a difference in the lives of others.”
In addition to supporting the Foundation through donations from the online store, the writers of Grey’s Anatomy have woven the organization into the storyline of the February 10, 2011, episode and produced a corresponding Barco’s Nightingales Foundation PSA, www.abc.go.com/shows/greysanatomy/ scrubs starring Grey’s Anatomy actor Eric Dane, to raise awareness for the Foundation’s work.
