I have had a HWC show for the last 3 years, this year it means more to me than ever. My uncle died last month of cancer, my mom was diagnosed with cancer last year, my cousin was diagnosed with breast cancer last year, and my Aunt B is a 26 (?) year breast cancer survivor; I am even using pink letters... this is me growing as a person because, say it with me, CANCER SUCKS!!
So here is the deal, here is how a HWC Fundraiser show works. All of the wonderful Pampered Chef items are for sale, as normal, but there are some special PINK items this month only. (I personally am in love with the little dessert plates!)
For each of the pink items sold Pampered Chef donates $1 to the American Cancer Society. Then because I am doing a fundraiser, instead of getting free stuff for me, the Pampered Chef gives a portion of the sales to The American Cancer Society (15-25% depending on how big the show is.)
If the show gets over $500 then 25% of total sales gets donated to cancer research.
Need anything for your kitchen or know anyone getting married (say May 25 or so)? This is a great way to get wonderful products AND help raise money for cancer research.
If you are interested please visit THIS WEBSITE and click on SHOP ONLINE. Under option 1 enter the organization AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY and you'll find a link with my name there. It is basically that easy! The whole catalog will be there to click through. If you might want some suggestions, well I have almost everything! (The new spices and rubs are so great and don't get me started on stoneware! Love it!)
This show will be open online until May 25 (I know this does not get things here in time for any wedding that might be on that day, but I promise she would understand!! LOL) Even my friends who live far away can order and have item shipped directly to them, for a little bit more shipping cost.
Know why May is National Breast Cancer Month? It is because in May we celebrate our Moms. Know why pink items are sold for Help Whip Cancer? So that every time a woman looks at these items they are reminded to do regular self breast examinations and to get a check up yearly from her doctor. Know why I am so passionate about Help Whip Cancer? Because the research and medical advances in breast cancer research has already saved two of my family members (I love you Aunt Bonnie and Denise!! Happy Hello!) and together we can help fight many more years to keep our 'girls' safe.
The American Cancer Society has invested $323 million in breast cancer research since 1972. It is important to support such worthy causes because one never knows when cancer will affect ones family or friends. I know cancer has impacted the lives of my entire extended family and I will do everything I can to help raise funds for research and prevention!
