                         Thursday, May 8, 2014

  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize the 25th anniversary of the Look Good Feel Better program. 
This free non-medical public service program of the Personal Care 
Products Council Foundation helps people with cancer look good, improve 
their self-esteem, and manage their treatment and recovery with greater 
confidence.
   In the United States alone, nearly 900,000 women have participated 
in the program which now offers 15,400 group workshops in more than 
2,500 locations nationwide. These programs are supported locally by 
more than 6,000 volunteers.
   Look Good Feel Better was founded and developed in 1989 by the 
Personal Care Products Council Foundation, a charitable foundation 
established by the leading national trade association representing the 
global cosmetic and personal care products industry. The program is 
available across the country and around the world in 25 countries.
   Look Good Feel Better is a collaboration of the Personal Care 
Products Council Foundation; the American Cancer Society, Inc., the 
nation's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to ending 
cancer and saving lives; and the Professional Beauty Association, the 
largest organization of salon professionals with members representing 
salons/spas, distributors, manufacturers and beauty professionals. 
These organizations work together to provide free group workshops, 
makeup kits, individual consultations, support resources, and more to 
help cancer patients thrive during treatment and recovery.
   I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Look Good Feel 
Better program and all of its sponsors and volunteers for 25 years of 
success in offering this unique and vital program for people living 
with cancer.
