Ascending Butterfly's All Treats No Tricks Countdown to Halloween Giveaway Sponsored By:


Pink Together is a community that has gathered online to share how they have been affected by Breast Cancer, whether it's because of their own battle or sharing in the battle of a loved one. Visit PinkTogether.com to share your personal story and messages of hope and read about others’ personal journeys. To encourage personal connections, General Mills will donate $1 to the Komen organization for each Message of Hope that is sent to someone who has shared their story on PinkTogether.com (up to $25,000) during October. This is in addition to a $2 million donation General Mills is making to the Komen organization.

This year, for the first time in its five-year history, at PinkTogether.com consumers can choose how $1 million of this donation will be shared between two important Komen programs: the Treatment and Assistance Program, which assists women in securing care they otherwise may not be able to afford, and Prevention Research, which helps unlock the keys to preventing breast cancer. Visit PinkTogether.com from September 19, 2011 through April 14, 2012 to make your choice. Results will be announced on Mother’s Day 2012 – Sunday, May 13.



General Mills will also be turning the packaging of participating products pink in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October.

Meet the 2011 Pink Together Survivor Ambassadors, and hear their amazing stories of courage and survival on PinkTogether.com and the Pink Together YouTube Channel.



 My Take:

Because Cancer (not Breast Cancer specifically) has affected my family directly, all cancer causes are very near to my heart. Reading the stories are an inspiration, that certainly help put day to day living complaints back into proper perspective. I recently contributed an article on Pinktober and ways to shop with purpose, which is something I do year round.

I love that General Mills is giving back in not just a big way, but a personal one. A way that is collaborative and inclusive and allows people to share their stories and inspire one another.

I love the prize pack as well, and hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
