(PRNewsChannel) / May 18, 2010 / LOS ANGELES / Stephenie LaGrossa knows what it’s like to survive while being isolated in the wilderness, but the reality television star says it does not compare to what cancer patients, their families and friends go through. That is why the former SURVIVOR™ contestant says she is teaming up with Trunkettes swimwear and the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCan) to raise money to fight pancreatic cancer.

During the week of May 31 – June 6, Trunkettes is donating proceeds from online sales to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCan). The fundraiser coincides with National Cancer Survivors Day®, which is June 6.

“We’re extremely excited to work with Stephenie,” says Hilary Genga, C.E.O of Trunkettes. “She’s one of the most popular contestants on the SURVIVOR™ series. She’ll be able to bring national attention to this amazing cause.”

Trunkettes is a unique line of swimwear made by a woman for women of all shapes and sizes. The idea is to be cute, comfortable, sexy and confident while not having to worry about a wardrobe malfunction.  The swimwear allows you to be free and as active as you’d like. You can take a closer look at www.trunkettes.com.
