Dublin based stockbroker and corporate financier Merrion Captial has donated all
commissions earned from its clients during business for one day to Action Breast
Cancer. The initiative is to mark Pink Ribbon Day which aims to raise awareness 
and money.

Action Breast Cancer, a project of the Irish Cancer Society, is the leading provider
of information and support for both diagnosed and undiagnosed women. The Action 
Breast Cancer, Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaign will comprise a month-long
TV, radio, press and outdoor advertising campaign which will be fronted by Victoria
Smurfit. There will also be complementary activities including the distribution 
of breast awareness postcards through pubs and restaurants, bookmarks through book
shops and press coverage.

Merrion chief executive John Conroy said the firm was delighted to support ABC.
