Posted on: Friday, 10 April 2009, 09:59 CDT

SIOUX FALLS, S.D., April 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Meta Payment Systems is pleased to announce the launch of a new Gift Card design in conjunction with becoming a proud sponsor of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). The Gift Card features the NBCF logo and "pink ribbon" image commonly associated with the fight against breast cancer and will be made available to the 900+ banks and credit unions that participate in Meta's Gift Card program. Meta Payment Systems is also providing free merchandising materials to the financial institutions that choose to feature the new Gift Card design. These materials include Gift Card packaging that provides information about NBCF and their website and tells Gift Card recipients how they can get involved. The new Gift Card is available in time for Mother's Day and offers a meaningful Gift Card alternative for those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer.

"We couldn't be more excited to become a sponsor of the National Breast Cancer Foundation," commented Mick Conlin, Senior Vice President of Agent Products at Meta Payment Systems. "We all have our personal stories of friends and family that have been impacted by breast cancer and we have high hopes that the new Gift Card design, packaging and merchandising will help drive breast cancer awareness and will encourage Gift Card purchasers and recipients to support the NBCF."

About National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.(R) (NBCF)

NBCF extends women's lives through education about breast cancer and early detection. The organization provides hope to women and families affected by breast cancer through a community of caring support and encouragement that enables those diagnosed with breast cancer to have fulfilling lives during their treatment and afterward.

National Breast Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit, charitable foundation headquartered in Frisco, Texas, just north of Dallas. The Foundation exists to save lives by providing access to free and low-cost mammograms for those with limited resources, increased awareness through continuing education programs and online community support programs.

NBCF constantly strives to expand efforts to reach women and give them hope with life-saving education and mammography services.

The heartbeat of National Breast Cancer Foundation is to touch the lives of those who may not be able to help themselves. The Foundation establishes and builds relationships with hospitals and clinics across the country to reach out to the surrounding communities, especially to underinsured women who might not otherwise have access to mammograms. As a trusted charity, NBCF furthers health facilities' missions by providing easy-to-understand breast cancer education and mammograms for needy women. NBCF provided more than 30,000 free mammograms for underinsured women in America in 2008.

The Foundation also supports cancer research, primarily through a relationship with The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, and research programs at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.
