Power of Pink ~ Mimi's Cafe (Giveaway!)

My life has been forever changed by Cancer - 14 years ago I lost my Mom to Cancer.   She happened to have Lung Cancer, not Breast Cancer, but one thing that brought to the center of my mind is the importance of screening for all Cancers.  My mother's lung cancer had one of the worst survival rates of all Cancers - at her diagnosis we were basically looking at months not years of potential survival and this was if she made it through the initial weekend.  Early diagnosis in most cases for Breast Cancer dramatically increases chances of beating the disease.  Early diagnosis can mean a 98.6% chance of survival past 5 years. 

I'm so excited that Mimi's Cafe is partnering with the National Breast Cancer Foundation this month to bring in donations for such a a great cause!  Stop in anytime this month to donate $1 (and up) and Mimi's Cafe will give you coupons valuing over $30 for the restaurants over 125 locations.  Also be sure to try out the two new Sparking Pink drinks - Sparkling Pink Passion Mimosa and Pink Passion Sparkler.  A portion of all proceeds will also be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Today my boys and I stopped by our local Mimi's Cafe and donated and created our pink leaf to be placed on the "Giving Tree" at our restaurant.

Want to head to your local Mimi's "on the house"?  I have TWO $25 Mimi's Gift e-cards to giveaway to two lucky readers.  I'll pick the winners on Friday October 5th, 2012 at 8pm Pacific time.
