I have read this entire thread as it's gone along, but lately I retain next to nothing, so please forgive me if this has already been posted.
The Cigna Foundation (link ->) http://www.cignafoundation.org/ is donating a dollar to the Susan G. Komen Foundation (a breast cancer charity) if you go the the Cigna link above, and click on the pink ribbon.
Here's their explanation blurb:
The CIGNA Foundation is proud to support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in its mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease.
During October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the CIGNA Foundation will donate $1 for every click on the pink ribbon to the left, up to $100,000. This gift will be part of our overall contribution to National Denim Day, which solely benefits the Komen Foundation.It's only through the end of this month, so please click away Buffistas. I know two people from the Buffy Fandom at large, fighting breast cancer specifically, out of 4 people I've met through the fandom living with any cancers/in remission from cancer - total.
As it's the month, it might be a good time to plug http://www.thebreastcancersite.com as well.
I originally had my wordy and poorly worded explanation of the breast cancer site. I'm editing here to give you their own words instead.
43,300 women are lost to breast cancer each year -- that's one mother, sister, daughter or friend every 12 minutes. Join The Breast Cancer Site's Chain of Hope, and help save lives.
In mere seconds and at no cost, you can help provide the lifesaving gift of early detection to underprivileged women.
Simply visit The Breast Cancer Site (http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/home) every day and click on the Fund Free Mammograms button to help fund free mammograms and reduce the number of lives lost to breast cancer.
Clicking is free. Funding for free mammography screenings is paid by site sponsors.
With your help, the lives of 2,000 underprivileged women -- or more -- will be touched in 2002 thanks to funding from The Breast Cancer Site. The sky is the limit! The more people who click, the more mammograms funded. Please join The Chain of Hope by clicking daily and spreading the word to your friends and family.
