~*~*Official Breast Cancer Awareness Month "deals" thread*~*~

I have seen a couple of "deals" out there, where if you buy certain items or do certain things, companies will donate money for the fight against breast cancer.
Being that Oct. is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I thought it would be a good idea to have a nice neat thread we can post these deals in, so everyone in the Deals community can help with the fight!!

So here goes!

1. New Balance Web Express.com is donating $10 on behalf of the customers name for any "Pink Ribbon" shoe purchased through the end of Oct. The donations are to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Direct from the site: "Lace Up for the Cure
For every pair of pink ribbon shoes you purchase, New Balance and New Balance Web Express will donate a total of $10.00 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation on your behalf. That's a $10.00 donation on your behalf to help in the fight to eradicate breast cancer. Offer valid until October 31, 2002."

2. (stolen from shibz11689 at FW) Take a short quiz (7 questions) and $1 will be donated to the American Cancer Society or Susan G. Komen Foundation.
Direct from the site: "Breast Cancer is currently the second leading killer of American women and the leading cause of death among women 40 to 55. It affects all women, regardless of shape, size or race.

But you don't have to stand by waiting for the disease to strike you or a loved one. By taking this quiz, $1 will be donated to the American Cancer Society or or the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

So help yourself and others by taking the short seven-question quiz."

3. You can go to www.thebreastcancersite.com and click on sponsors to fund free mammograms. (Thanks buybye!)

4. Yahoo.com has a big listing of business you can buy from that that will donate a portion of your purchase to the fight against breast cancer. Here is the official scoop:
"In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, when you purchase any of these featured name-brand products (while supplies last), a portion of the proceeds goes to charity. Shop now and support the battle against breast cancer."

5. Avon.com, Avon Breast Cancer Crusade Pen for $3! A small and simple gift that helps the cause.
Here are the direct details:
This beautifully designed pen is the perfect way to sign up for our crusade against breast cancer. Use it or give it with pride, knowing that proceeds from the sale of this, or any pink ribbon product, support breast cancer research, programs, and services nationwide. Since 1993, the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade has raised nearly $110 million for such programs. Pen is in pearlized pink with silvertone accents. Refillable black ink. Gift-boxed."

6. I personally don't know of any of these stores but hopefully you all will! (Thanks WileECoyote!)

THANKS MODS! 🙂
 
I think it would be appreciated by many here if this gets a sticky. I'm sure many people have had their live's touched by Breast Cancer now. October is the only month dedicated to this horrible disease which affects and kills every month.

Lost my Mom 2 years ago on her 60th Birthday to this killer 🙁

Havoc13, I hope and pray your Mom will be able to win her battle.
 
Hmm, maybe we should inquire of the site about this...
Know someone else who would like to support our efforts? Quiz a friend, and we'll donate a dollar, up to $10,000, for each unique quiz taker who answers the seven questions.
Yet it shows over 11 grand raised so far... and its a bot counter based on quiz takers.This is not to discourage anyone from taking it,Im just curious if we are over the limit if Im reading it right...
 
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you MODS!!

Also added Yahoo link, with over 22 pages of business offering oppertunities to donate to the cause!

Hmmm paulieside...

I am a poor school going international kid living off an Uncle. I visit Hot deals in case I find some VERRY VERY VERY inexpensive deal. Otherwise, I just help out my friends in getting deals. to tell you the truth, When I first saw this , I laughed. I bumped it without a thought.... then.. the second time I found it languishing on the 6th or 7th page, I thought abt the disease.. abt the effect it has had on the people. I decided that I ought to atleast take the quiz for having bumped it. The quiz was so informative... And I thot I knew a lot abt it... that I realized... this was the post to support. Thats why I bumped it🙂

Thanks Walberty.... I hope this increases the life span of atleast ONE person...... or touch a single person's life. That alone is value enuff🙂

Thanks Walberty

Mohan.
