Hey guys,

I want to introduce you to my mom, Darlene.

4ocean Co-Founder, Alex Schulze with his mother, Darlene

She’s always shared my passion for the ocean and when I first had the idea to start this company, she was instantly my #1 supporter—and to this day, she’s still my greatest champion.

So when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in late 2005, I was absolutely terrified.

It was a long road to recovery, but thanks to the incredible team of doctors, nurses, and researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL, Mom's cancer has been in remission since 2006.

Now, I want to pay it forward and do what I can to support the community that supported my family through one of our darkest times.

That's why 4ocean has partnered with our friends at Dune Jewelry Co. to create our new 4ocean x Dune Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelet, which features pink 4ocean Plastic flake inside the charm.

The 4ocean x Dune Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelet

In addition to pulling two pounds of trash from the ocean, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this bracelet will be donated to the H. Lee Moffitt Research Institute and Cancer Center to help fund life-saving research, innovation, and care.

So, if you're undergoing cancer treatment, we made this bracelet for you.

If you're caring for a loved one undergoing treatment, we made this bracelet for you.

If you're learning to navigate your grief after losing someone you love to cancer, we made this bracelet for you.

No matter what journey you’re on, Mom and I will keep you in our hearts.

Sending love and strength,

Alex Schulze
CEO & Co-Founder
