Yoplait "Promise To Make A Difference" Giveaway - CLOSED

According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer within her lifetime; that's 12 percent of all women who will be personally impacted by the disease.

You may feel powerless in the fight against breast cancer. Well there is one way you can help. From now until the end of October you can save and mail your pink lids from Yoplait yogurt.

For every pink lid mailed in by December 31, 2009, Yoplait will donate 10 cents to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, up to $1.5 million, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $500,000. In addition, you can visit YourLidMatters.com to create online lid collection teams. You can also engage and inspire friends, family and colleagues to join the cause.

MyBlogSpark sent me the "Promise To Make a Difference" gift. This includes a free coupon for Yoplait YoPlus Yogurt (void in LA, NV and ND), a breast cancer awareness bracelet, and a leather jewelry case. I haven't had a chance to go to the store yet, but as soon as I do I'm going to pick up my free Yoplait YoPlus Yogurt, and save the lids to send them in. My daughter loves the bracelet, and is wearing it today to school.

Think Pink With Cryo-Cell

As I'm sure you are well aware of, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many people have been affected by this disease. Either themselves, friends or family may have been affected.

Well now there is some good news in breast cancer research. Cryo-Cell International is partnering with National Institutes of Health (NIH). They are exploring the potential use of menstrual stem cells to treat breast cancer. They are working hard on their partnership that is underway. They hope to find a better understanding how C'elle stem cells can benefit the treatment of breast cancer.

Stem cells from menstrual blood have been shown to be a rich source of stem cells. In fact they have been the source of extensive stem cell research. There is aggressive research and development in this area. Industry experts expect that C'elle stem cells will be the frontier in diagnostic and regenerative medicine.

For Breast Cancer Awareness month Cryo-Cell will be making a C'Elle Breast Cancer Donation. The Cyro-Cell Breast Cancer Donation will be going to the Susan B. Komen Foundation. They will donate $50 from each purchase of the "Protect Baby, Protect Mom" service. And $25 for each purchase of the "C'elle Menstrual Stem Cell" service.

To learn more about Cryo-Cell and stem cell research, please visit their website. And to learn more about how they are helping in the fight against breast cancer, visit their site as well.

The Pink Sisterhood Tag

I was tagged by Roxy from Roxiticus Desperate Housewives for the Pink Sisterhood tag. This tag is for a good cause and it is to promote Breast Cancer Awareness.


Here is a few facts about Breast Cancer that I found online: (also if you do this tag try to find your own facts - to keep it different)



1. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States.
2. About 40,460 women will die from the disease this year.
3. Mammography screening remains the best available method to detect breast cancer early.
4. It is known that hormones in a woman's body, such as estrogen and progesterone, can play a role in the development of breast cancer. In breast cancer, estrogen causes a doubling of cancer cells every 36 hours.
