A New Note - and plea - for Breast Cancer Awareness

[Mamie]

My old pleas to get you to click on the link and once more on the button are getting ignored. (I watch the numbers of people looking at the link. I watch them not going anywhere.)

I just received a note from the site. It opened and closed with this:

Dear ____,

We need your help: We need more people to click daily on the pink button! If clicks don't increase soon, we won't reach our shared October goal to fund 700 free mammograms for women in need.

Please tell 10 friends, family members and co-workers about clicking to fund free mammograms at The Breast Cancer Site today. And ask that they tell 10 people, too! It takes less than a minute to spread the word with our Pink Ribbon Challenge e-card or simply by forwarding this e-newsletter.
----------------------
The Breast Cancer Site is having difficulty getting enough people to click the pink button that helps fund free mammograms for women who can't afford them. It doesn't cost anything! Sponsors pay based on the number of individuals clicking the pink button. Become one of those people: Visit the site and click every day!

Thank you for helping to fight this disease during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and beyond.
Sincerely,

Tim Kunin

Mamie, I put this link on my bookmarks, and I click on it alot, but that also means I'm not clicking on your thread.

I swear I'm doing it though!

Me too! And I sent it to friends.

Maybe we need a thread where the title makes it clear what it is? That way we can just bump it each day, and folks can go "Oh, right . . . !"

I click no matter which thread I see.

I tried that first Reggie - but it usually died out and dropped off the page in an hour or two. If you have any suggestions for a title, I'd be more than happy to change it.

I just find it incredibly hard to believe that they can't get enough people to just go there and click on that button during Breast Cancer Awareness Month! It's completely free. No emails, no nothing. And still they can't get people to give them 3 seconds of their time. It's pathetic.

(I know you go there, SF. I just think there's a small - very small - group of regulars who go every day and everybody else just ignores it.)

Dear ____,
Thanks for committing to the cause throughout National Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Your daily clicks on the pink button have gotten us past the halfway mark to our ambitious goal, but this race for the cure isn't a sprint ... it's a marathon, and we still have a long way to go to reach the finish line.

Keep that motivation going for winning the race today and every day until we find a cure! Need help keeping up the pace? Just think: Your clicks (worth double this month) benefit our nonprofit partner, the National Breast Cancer Foundation. This foundation distributes funding to clinics that provide free mammograms to women unable to pay for this life-saving cancer screening.

With your continuing clicks--and the generosity of our premier sponsor--we can reach our goal of funding 500 free mammograms and trigger an added contribution of 200 free mammograms! Lace up for the race today.
