Pretty in Pink
If you haven’t loaded up with Easter goodies yet, you may want to look for these… Pink M&Ms and Pink Hershey Kisses.
M&Ms is donating $550,000 to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the two-toned pink candies, both plain and peanut, are “a sweet, simple way to cheer patients, friends and loved one.” Hershey’s is teaming with Youth Survival Coalition, pledging $300,000 to this worthy organization.
The Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the largest non-profit organization dedicated to breast cancer awareness and research. The YSC is an international, non-profit network of young breast cancer survivors and supporters.
According to the YSC Web site, there are more than 250,000 women, age 40 and under, in the U.S. living with this disease, and an additional 11,100 will be diagnosed this year.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women ages 15-54. Statistics tell us that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
Treat yourself to a sweet little sumpin’, sumpin’ and maybe help save a life…. (Don’t forget to visit my sidebar and Click Every Day to help provide free mammograms)
As much as I hate the color pink, i’m thinking with a cause like this I might just buy pink M&Ms for everyone I know.
Thanks for the heads up.
Cool…I will have to get a bag! Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea.. thanks for passing the message along.. Happy Easter!! xoxo
Such a great and yummy idea! If I get a chance I will have to go out and get some. Happy Easter!
hey terrific TARa,
i will take your advice about the “sumethin sumethin.” you made me giggle. catch you a little later. hope you don’t get the sickies from ~K. great day my friend, beany not growling bear
Any excuse for me to eat chocolate!!
Pink M&M’s, delicious and for a good cause. What more could you ask for?
But here’s the really important question: are the Hershey’s kisses available in dark choco yet?!?
Thanks for sharing.
I also love when companies have causes like these. Where it is something you would buy anyways so your money get to go to something that helps
I walked in the 60 mile breast cancer 3-day last year. I thought about doing it this year, but probably won’t. I’ll buy a bunch of pink m&m’s instead! Yum.
Excellent idea! Thanks for the heads up, and I will be sure to go and purchase some right now! :]
Yep, got mine!
uh oh.. I can’t figure out how to log in as my normal self.. I’ll figure it out eventually. I guess I can just be your secret admirer for now!
Hugs!
I’ve seen those pink m&m’s and thought they were great! I love pink anyway!
I’ll get a bag for sure. I wish I could say it was ONLY for this reason. But honestly, if they came out with a bag of pitch black M&M’s to support every stupid thing I hate….well….they’re still yummy M&M’s. Dude….they melt in your mouth…not in your hand.
Okay, now I’m craving chocolate! Yummmmmy!
PS….I love it that you always leave me such sweet comments. You’re such a doll! Happy Easter!
Gaw…you are making me SOOO hungry.
That is great to know! Thanks for sharing, we love M&Ms and of course that’s a great cause!
Yes! I will buy some when I go out Easter bunny shopping in a few hours! Nothing life leaving it to the last minute!
