My BEST memories as a child of my grandparents happened at Christmas time. My GP’s would fly in from Indiana and stay with us for two weeks. GP would take me and my brother’s out for Winchell’s donuts and my GM would cook all day every day. She would be the ONE telling me NOT to slam the doors, how to behave, taught me generosity and how to be good neighbors. She started fighting cancer at age 50 and did not stop fighting cancer until she was 93. By the time she passed away, she had had colon, breast, and uterine cancer. She was the one was said, “Getting old ain’t for sissies.” When faced with adversity, she was a FIGHTER! Always wanted to live another day. Willing to have yet another surgery so that she may continue to enjoy living. She is my inspiration today. So, in honor of Olive and the fact that it is BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH, I would like to highlight a few companies (whom I was able to contact directly..I’m sure there are many others!!) that are giving back in the FIGHT against breast cancer.
Companies committed to finding a cure for breast cancer…
RUNNING SKIRTS
“We are a proud supporter of the fight against breast cancer each year. Right now, we have a special promo going for 20% off all pink skirts when you mention “RunningSkirts for the Cure“ in the checkout notes. We are also donating 5% of all pink skirt sales to the fight against breast cancer as we do each year. We have a national fund raising team in Canada also that ran the CIBC Run for the Cure 5k events in all the major cities of Canada last weekend.
Here’s a youtube video from one of our running teams last weekend!”
gracie’s gear, inc
“Lauren Grace Updyke, the creator and producer of the revolutionary POWER POUCH™ sports bra, announced today its plan to extend its 2008 Gracie Gives community outreach program by donating 30% of proceeds from online sales of the black with pink tops to help generate awareness and raise funds for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer.”
