Mimi's Cafe Power of Pink Campaign Raises Breast Cancer Awareness

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I don't know anyone who has not been affected by this disease: a mother, sister, aunt, wife, or friend. As you know, I am all about prevention. I know that a mammogram isn't going to prevent breast cancer, but it can help detect it and hopefully, get someone the help they need early enough.

I am working with Mimi's Cafe to introduce it's Power of Pink campaign. Mimi's Cafe is partnering with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) this month to create and spread awareness for breast cancer. For the entire month of October, all 145 location will display a Giving Tree. Guests who donate $1 will be given a leaf to inscribe to put on the tree, and for $5, they receive a limited-edition pink ribbon lapel pin. In return, Mimi's Cafe will provide up to $30 in coupons for those making an in-store donation. If you can't make it to a restaurant, you can still support the campaign through eGift Card donations and digital donations to the Giving Tree. All proceeds will go to the NBCF.
