Passionately Pink for the Cure®

How can YOU go Pink for the Cure?

Go pink in 5 simple steps:


1. Choose how you want to go pink.
Pink cake walk? Wear pink to work day? The possibilities are endless! Have fun finding an event that fits your team.

2. Decide what day.
When are you going to go pink? A day? A whole week? Pink is always in season!

3. Create your team.
Pink is not exclusive. Wrangle up everyone you know-- friends, family, co-workers, your neighborhood mailman.

4. Set your goal.
Dream big!

5. Have fun as you fight breast cancer!


These 5 Simple Steps can be found at http://www.passionatelypink.org/.

What's up with that Facebook status?

Recently, you may have noticed an abundance of seemingly risque Facebook statuses. If you're like me, you were probably baffled at the sight of "I like it on the desk" or "I like it on the kitchen counter" on your news feed. Don't worry, it isn't what you think!
The message behind the "I like it" trend is actually one that is very dear to our hearts.
