Yoplait Saves Lids to Save Lives Giveaway
Thanks to MyBlogSpark, I had the opportunity to learn more about how Yoplait helps to save lives through the use of their yogurts’ pink lids. According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer within her lifetime – that is 12% of all women who will be personally impacted by the disease!
How Can You Help Contribute to the Cause?
In September and October, Yoplait is making it easy for people to participate in the fight against breast cancer by savings and mailing their pink lids from Yoplait yogurt cups. For every pink lid mailed by December 31st, 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. You can also visit YourLidMatters.com to create online lid collection teams.
Over 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. Last year, participants across the country helped Yoplait to meet its $1.5 million donation goal to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
In celebration of Yoplait’s Save Lids Save Lives Campaign, 1 lucky reader on The Mommy-Files will win a “Promise to Make a Difference” Gift Pack, including a free coupon for Yoplait YoPlus Yogurt, a breast cancer awareness bracelet, and a leather jewelry case!!!

I will raise awareness by encouraging my friends to all get mammograms!
I follow your blog with google friend connect!
I tell my friends to get their breast exams and I do the walks
My salon has pink hair extentions you can add for the month. I have one of those and when people ask me about it I tell them it’s about helping people become aware of breast cancer and how to prevent it through early detection.
I participate in runs and walks.

I make sure all my friends stay on top of their mammograms and annual physical checkups. I try to purchase “pink” products to donate $ to breast cancer research. I wear “pink” products with the ribbon logo. I send flowers on the Pinktogether website to show my support to those living with breast cancer.

Rated you a 10 my dear. You know how you always end up on the same blogs. I read you daily and love your giveaways. Keep up the good work. I know it can’t be easy to keep this blog going.
I find laughing actually helps me get through the inevitable rough spots in life. I really like corny jokes and your Joke Of The Day posts does the trick. I read them and share them with my family who also like corny jokes. No surprise.
i’m saving lids and sending them in

I will raise awareness by sending an email to all my friends reminded them to have their mammograms. I will also post it on my blog to raise awareness with my readers. I support breast cancer awareness and do the Susan G Komen walk every year. I also save lids at home.

This book is about children who have faced huge obstacles battling cancer and have survived and moved forward with their lives. Gives us hope that the rest of us who are cancer free can overcome our challenges and succeed.
