Passionately Pink for the Cure - Warrior of the Week

[NYadgal]

Posted: 10/2/06 at 10:07am

More than the color for breast cancer awareness, pink represents the promise between two sisters to find a cure for breast cancer. That promise started the Komen Foundation and ignited the passion of millions to create a world without breast cancer. Are you passionate?

Passionately Pink for the Cure™ is a new, year-round fundraising and education program kicking off October 1, 2006, in conjunction with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The program encourages companies, schools and organizations to take that promise, make it their own, and make a difference by supporting breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment.

Breast cancer touches millions of lives. It is expected that 211,200 women and 1,720 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and more than 41,000 people will die from breast cancer in 2006 alone. One by one, we can make a difference! Passionately Pink for the Cure™ is an easy, creative program we hope will have everyone seeing pink everywhere you look, every day in October, encouraging millions of people nationwide to get involved in the promise for the cure. We hope to raise $10 million through the Passionately Pink for the Cure™ program with your help.


Share Your Passion. Please.

Thanks for the reminder. This is an important health issue facing both men and women. I noticed that the Yahoo home page is decked out for the cause this morning.

I'm wearing my pink support bracelet and my pink ribbon - which looks HORRIBLE on my peach colored jacket. It does attract attention though and that's the point. This devastating disease needs all the attention it can get!

I do not own anything pink - I know, the horror - but will accessorize through Walter Bondi.

Seriously... I will totally be a part of this.

The Bay has some really great stuff out this year for Breast Cancer Awareness. They are selling pink kitchen appliances/utensils (kettles, blenders, frying pans). They're all beautiful in pink, and many have been added to my Christmas list even though I'm still living at home. They also have soft slippers and bathrobes.

I went shopping for dorm supplies yesterday, and almost everything I got was from the pink Awareness section of the Bay. So I have a pink can opener, a pink frying pan, a pink trivet, and pink measuring cups...

I was tempted to go for the pink milshake machine. And now I kind of wish I had.

Huzzah, good causes.

A pink drink for Breast Cancer Awareness!

Panera has the most delicious looking Pink Ribbon Bagels for the month of October. I fully intend to buy a dozen in the near future.


Pick Up a Pink Ribbon Bagel at Panera Bread in October

Panera Bread's most powerful bagel happens to be pink - announcing Panera's hard-to-resist Pink Ribbon Bagel! It's made with cherry chips, dried cherries and cranberries, vanilla, honey and brown sugar.
