Premier Sunglass Company helps a family in need during the holidays.

ORMOND BEACH, FL -- Polaroid Eyewear, a division of StyleMark AG and world leader in optics and lens technology, is giving back this holiday season to a family of three in need of some holiday spirit.

Misty Cabanas of Marion, Ohio recently posted a heartfelt blog on the website www.aidpage.com, asking for someone to sponsor her family this Christmas. Like many, she has fallen on to hard economic times and her only wish this time of year is to provide her two children with the Christmas they deserve.

Polaroid Eyewear answered her blog and in true holiday spirit, is sponsoring the Cabanas Family this winter. The company is providing Misty and her two children with pairs of their new RealD certified Polaroid Premium 3D Eyewear and a movie gift card.

“We are committed to helping those in need, no matter how big or small the task is” said Polaroid’s Rachel Scholan, the Marketing and Product Manager of North America. “This is the season of giving, and with so many people in economic turmoil, a few hours away with the family would ease their minds, at least for a little while.  It is the togetherness that makes a difference during difficult times and we wanted to contribute to that.”

With 3D movies making such a splash and the growing excitement and anticipation surrounding the release of circular technology 3D TVs on the market, this gift comes at the perfect time. Polaroid’s 3D eyewear is currently being sold in select Cinemark theaters and on their website at polaroid-eyewearstore.com. The wider-scale release into retail and consumer electronic stores has been set for the first quarter of 2011.

The eyewear utilizes their patented Thermofusion™ technology to offer the only RealD certified curved lens for perfect 3D vision. They are set in comfortable and fashionable frames with a myriad of styles for both children and adults.

Polaroid’s devotion to giving back is exemplified by the timely response to the Cabanas Family’s request. Aidpage.com is a mutual support community in which members can talk to others about their problems—either anonymously or not—and offer information and moral support.
