Athena's Home Novelties, Founder, Jennifer Jolicoeur Receives Business Distinction Award from the Blackstone Valley Council and Accolades as a Successful Business Leader from the RI General Assembly

    WOONSOCKET, RI, August 09, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jennifer Jolicoeur was invited to receive the prestigious award at the 28th Annual Dinner and Award Ceremony on October 3rd at the Twin River Event Center in Lincoln RI, by Robert Billington, President of the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council. When asked for a response to the honor Jolicoeur responded, "We couldn't have done it without our incredible office staff, the many Goddesses and Adoni who represent us in 44 states, and the thousands and thousands of customers who have trusted us for their romantic needs! I just want to thank you everyone for their support over the last 15 years!"

This most recent recognition comes on the heels of accolades Jolicoeur received during the General Assembly Session at the Rhode Island State House on May 23, 2013. To the cheers of the State Representatives, Gordon D. Fox, Speaker of the House, praised Jolicoeur as a thriving business owner, providing independent, rewarding careers for so many Rhode Islanders and individuals nation-wide. He also acknowledged Jolicoeur as creator and spokesperson of Athena's Cup providing information and awareness vital to the eradication of breast cancer.

When asked to respond to her two standing ovations Jolicoeur said; "Today is one of the true highlights of my life! This year Athena's Home Novelties is celebrating a milestone of 15 years in business. I knew that the fledging adult home toy home party business I started in a basement would grow to impact and empower women to take charge of their lives, but the obstacles have at times been overwhelming. This recognition enforces my plans to grow both Athena's Home Novelties and Athena's Cup. When the Athena's Cup breaks the world record for the most bras hooked together I will be called back to the state house and they will take a vote on a state wide Athena's DAY!"

Athena's Cup is a national campaign that aims to collect and hook together 169,000 donated bras in an effort to raise breast cancer awareness and attempt to break the current bra-chain Guinness World Record. To date the Cup has collected over 109,000 bras.

The Athena's Cup, www.athenascup.org, founded in 2009, has provided an amazing journey toward awareness and self fulfillment for both Jolicoeur, her staff and thousands of distributors nation-wide. "Little did we realize when we began Athena's Cup we would have the opportunity to touch so many lives and play such a large part in the conversation that is taking major steps for the prevention and potential cure," said Jolicoeur.
