Special thanks to Bloomingdale’s/She Speaks for partnering with Stuff Parents Need to make this post possible.

Bloomingdale’s wants to fund research, support and awareness programs at three organizations: the Breast Cancer Research Foundation,® The Tutu Project™ benefitting The Carey Foundation and the Cancer Vixen Fund™ at Beth Israel Hospital. Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, all this month you can enroll in the #GivePink promotion to help Bloomingdale’s reach its goal.

Now through November 3rd, you can enroll in the program by charging a $15 fee on your Bloomingdale’s charge card. Then it is time to start shopping for anything and everything in the store (even cosmetics and fragrance count!). Once you spend a certain amount of money, you will earn a gift card to Bloomingdale’s as a thank you for your support of the initiative!

I love having gift cards on hand for folks on my shopping list that are tricky to buy for, and this program provides a great way to earn some of those while doing some shopping you need to do for your family or for other folks on your holiday list. And breast cancer initiatives get supported in the process, so everyone wins with #GivePink!

So maybe you need to justify something like this for yourself (I seriously drool when I look at this picture!):

Go ahead and splurge! Breast cancer research will get some funding, you’ll pick up a gift card and mark someone off your holiday shopping list, and you will have some seriously smokin’ hot boots!

If you are a Bloomingdale’s card holder, get yourself enrolled now, and then get over to the store to earn yourself a gift card! And for additional information and inspiration, be sure to follow Bloomingdale’s on Facebook and Pinterest.

 

Freschetta Aims to Raise $50,000 for Breast Cancer Research (GIVEAWAY!!!)

· by · 124 Comments

All this month when you buy a specially-marked  Freschetta pizza (look for the ones with the pink ribbons!) you can help raise money for breast cancer research. Your box will have a special code on it that you can submit to http://www.proudtosupportpink.com/ and that will earmark $1 to be donated! Woo hoo! Maybe $1 doesn’t seem like much, but every single dollar counts, AND Freschetta is hoping to send $50,000 dollars. That can really have a powerful impact on research and make a difference in finding a cure!

Additionally, each week Freschetta is giving away 50 iPod Shuffles to lucky winners on their site! Woo hoo! They are also giving 50 iPod shuffles to one of four selected Cancer Centers for patients receiving treatment. What a wonderful way to help those patients relax and take their minds off things!
So, to recap, here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to the store and buy a specially-marked Freschetta pizza (if you don’t already know how wonderful they taste, you can just come back and thank me after you try them!).

2. Enter the code on your pizza box at http://www.proudtosupportpink.com/.

3. Enter to win the iPod Shuffles while you are there and spread the word to your family and friends so that they can help with the fundraising effort, as well.

 

And of course, I have an opportunity for you to win, too! One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win a coupon for a FREE Freschetta pizza and two sets of pink earbuds, one for you, and one to give to a friend. Woo hoo! [Read more…]
