Fort Worth, Texas
June 17, 2008 Debbullan Inc. officially announces “SIGN 4 C”, a new awareness campaign to raise positive awareness of Hepatitis C. The “SIGN 4 C” campaign was created to ask the question "Do you support positive awareness of Hep C?" when you can't get close enough to ask the question verbally. By using the sign language symbol for the letter "C" anyone can participate anywhere in the world.
The official website for the campaign is www.SIGN4C.info. Anyone can find Instructions, suggestions along with stories and pictures of people who have already begun “Signing for C”. A selection of “Sign 4 C” gear is also available. There is 10 cent to one dollar mark-up over the cost of each piece of merchandise.
"Success of the campaign begins the moment anyone asks the question "What does that mean?”. So, in fact, it is already a success" says Nancy Gelzinis, President of Debbullan Inc. When asked how the campaign was created Gelzinis says, "I was attending a very large presentation. I wanted to ask the speaker if they supported the cause. How do I ask, especially in this huge, loud group of people? I thought of ways we all non-verbally communicate internationally; the “peace” sign, the “victory” sign, the “call me” sign. The silent sign “C” was the answer. I thought how perfectly appropriate this was, since Hepatitis C is known as the ‘silent' killer”.
