Giveaway: Pink Together

Pink Together has been celebrating hope for five years, providing an online community of those affected by breast cancer. On the site, you can share your story and messages of hope, and read others' messages and stories. General Mills is supporting breast cancer research by donating $1 to the Susan G Komen for the Cure for each message that is sent to a person who shared their story during October (up to $25,000). General Mills will also be making a flat $2 million donation to Susan.

This year, they're doing something different - site visitors can choose how $1 million of this donation is shared. The two programs are the Treatment and Assistance Program (to help women who can't afford treatment) and Prevention Research (which provides funds for researching). Between now and April 14, 2012, you can vote for which one should get more of the funds, and results will be announced Mother's Day 2012.

Other tidbits - you can see the Survivor Ambassadors for 2011 on the Pink Together YouTube Channel, and General Mills has pink packaging for participating products for October.

To help raise awareness of this site and great cause, General Mills is sponsoring a giveaway with: one 16 oz. box of Total cereal, VIP coupons valid for one box of Cheerios and Multigrain Cheerios cereal and one cup of Yoplait yogurt, Betty Crocker Living with Cancer Cookbook Pink Together Edition, which includes a collection of more than 150 delicious recipes with complete nutrition information and a 32-page Pink Together Survivor Ambassador bonus section that shares inspirational personal stories of survival as well as recipes, Water bottle and removable silicone awareness bracelet, Drawstring sport backpack, Rhinestone ear buds.

To enter, leave a comment with one way breast cancer has affected you (and if you don't know anyone who personally has been affected, leave that in the comments instead. Deadline is October 26th.
