KitchenAid 1,000 Cooks for the Cure and Mixer Giveaway
Pink, pink, pink everything is better with a little pink, or so my daughter would tell you. After all, it is her favorite color and thus we live in a sea of pink. Since she is my sous chef in all baking attempts (yes, attempts), I can’t wait to introduce her to KitchenAid’s line of kitchen appliances that support the Susan G Komen foundation through Cook for the Cure. I do believe this sweet little mixer might inspire even me to bake a batch of pink cupcakes.
KitchenAid and Del Webb hope you too are inspired by pink and will participate in the 10th anniversary of Cook for the Cure, which challenges America to host 1,000 dinner parties to raise money for breast cancer research and community outreach programs. The annual event has raised nearly $8 million since 2001 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure ®.

ideelCAUSE Event at ideeli
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, ideeli wants you to “Think Pink.” You can help support breast cancer research by purchasing any of these special “pink” items from their ideelCAUSE sale. Prices start at only $5.
Donning “rose-colored glasses” is synonymous with optimism and hope. It’s no surprise, then, that National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) borrows its signature color—pink—from that very phrase, one that encapsulates the spirit of the many heroines in the fight against the disease. In honor and support of them, we’ve trained a rose-colored lens on a special sale of pink pieces from some of your favorite brands, which are donating a portion of their proceeds to this worthy cause. Buy any of the Bonjour, KitchenAid, and Susan G. Komen Luggage products, and these brands will make donations to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Invest in one of Cuisinart’s essentials, and the brand will donate to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. So think (and shop) pink—and lend your own rose-colored outlook to an essential cause.
You can check out the ideelCAUSE sale here. You’ll need to register for free if you don’t already have an ideeli account.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – You Can Help!
Today is the start of a new month, a month known for Orange, Black and PINK! That’s right, pink! In addition to Halloween, October has become known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. (I know you already knew that, just a reminder.)
A cause near and dear to the hearts of women across the country, like so many others I have a family tie to this disease. My Grandmother is a Breast Cancer Survivor and my Aunt is currently battling this demon.
This month, lots of companies make it easy to support the Susan G Komen foundation and other foundations for breast cancer awareness and research. Here are some EASY ways you can help!
1) Click on The Breast Cancer Site every day! If you aren’t familiar with this site yet, take 1 minute to check it out now and 30 seconds a day to click on it. For every person who clicks on this site every day mammograms are funded for those who would not otherwise be able to afford them. I promise, it is free (unless you decide to go shopping while you are there) and quick. Click now!
2) Become a fan of The Breast Cancer Site on Facebook! This is one of my favorite Facebook fan pages because it reminds me to click daily with its status updates. Right now the page is running a campaign for 1 million users. When the page reaches 1 million fans, $100,000 will be donated for breast cancer research! Currently, there are more than 300,000 fans. Become a fan today and help reach that goal, you will also be reminded to click daily for more donations to this worthy cause. (Oh and while you are on Facebook, become a fan of TheSuburbanMom so you don’t miss any posts!)
3) Use your P&G coupons. Coupons from the 9/27 P&G flyer announced that for every redemption of on of those coupons a $0.02 donation is to be made to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Double benefits – saving you money and helping a worthy cause!
4) Buy your favorite products ink Pink this month. There are tons of products out there that have repackaged themselves in pink to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness. Most of these products will also make a small donation for every product purchased to a breast cancer foundation – just be sure to read the fine print.
That’s 4 quick ways you can be a part of this movement without spending an extra dime (even saving money!). Do your part - click today!
Massage for the Cure – September 15
Since breast cancer has deeply affected my family, I feel very passionate about supporting events to support the Susan G Koman foundation. So, I was quite excited when I learned about Massage for the Cure. On September 15, Massage Envy locations nationwide will be offering 50 minute massages for only $35. Of the $35, $10 of each massage will be directly to the Susan G Koman foundation. The goal is to raise $500,000 in one day!
