According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer within her lifetime; that's 12 percent of all women who will be personally impacted by the disease. This Spark is to raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer. When participating in Yoplait's Save Lids to Save Lives® program, you too can make a difference.
How Can You Help Contribute to the Cause?
Yoplait makes it easy for people to participate in the fight against breast cancer by saving and mailing in their pink lids from Yoplait yogurt cups in September and October. For every pink lid mailed in by December 31, 2009, Yoplait will donate 10 cents to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, up to $1.5 million, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $500,000. In addition, you can visit YourLidMatters.com to create online lid collection teams. You can also engage and inspire friends, family and colleagues to join the cause.
During the past 11 years, Yoplait has donated more than $22 million to the breast cancer cause through Save Lids to Save Lives and other initiatives, and last year, participants across the country helped Yoplait meet its $1.5 million donation goal to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This year, you can help too!
Dr. Kristi Funk, Founder of the Pink Lotus Breast Center in Beverly Hills, is joining Yoplait this September and October to educate women and men about the importance of breast cancer risk reduction, early detection and ways to support the cause. Dr. Funk has helped thousands of women through breast cancer treatment, including well-known celebrities such as Sheryl Crow. Her "Support the Cause" video is available at: http://www.yoplait.com/slsl/ for you to review and share on your site.
Myblogspark is helping promote this great on going idea. They included a free coupon for Yoplait YoPlus Yogurt, a breast cancer awareness bracelet, and a leather jewelry case.

The students I work with inspire me every day. They all have "disabilities" of some sort, which honestly, are gifts too, and persevere with a strength and resilience that is simply amazing. I learn from them every day
