Sams Club Goes Pink Giveaway


This October, by making simple everyday purchases at Sam’s Club, you can help support breast cancer education and research. Beginning September 19th, Sam’s Club stores will feature exclusive pink packaging on some of your favorite participating General Mills products in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.



  • For 5 years, General Mills has partnered with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Foundation to bring breast cancer support to local communities, and this year they are making their annual donation of $2 million to the foundation to advance breast cancer research and support education and community outreach projects.







  • Purchase specially-marked General Mills products like Cheerios and Fiber One 90 Calorie Brownies at your local Sam’s Club and help decide how half of that contribution will be donated by voting at PinkTogether.com from now until April 14, 2012.







  • General Mills’ donations will be divided between two important Komen programs: theTreatment and Assistance Program, which assists women in securing care they otherwise may not be able to afford, and Prevention Research, which helps unlock the keys to preventing breast cancer. Voting results will be announced on Mother’s Day 2012.





    • In conjunction with this promotion Sams Club and General Mills have offered to give one of my readers a $25 gift card to get started on picking up their specially marked products.  SWEET!

    The rules:
    One entry per person please.
    To enter just tell me other ways you hope to help give back and help in the fight against breast cancer.

    A winner will be chosen at random on October 14th.

    Disclosure: I was given a $25 gift card in addition to being offered one for a giveaway from Sams Club and General Mills through MyBlogSpark.  No other compensation was provided for this giveaway post.

      I've participated in Walks for The Cure, and assisted in fundraisers to help those afflicted with cancer with their medical costs.

      When my mother was diagnosed I researched proper diet and nutrition and I helped her create meal plans that curbed added sugars that some scientists believe accelerate cancer's growth.

      Hi I am part of a walking team for the Avon walk here in Houston. My team name is all about early detection. We are Team FROG standing for Frequently Rubbing Our Girls. We fundraise all year and as a matter of fact we are having a BBQ cookoff in Sealy on Oct 22nd and could use the money to buy things from SAMs for our fundraiser. Thank you for all you do, I live in Katy and keep up with your blog all the time. I hope I win so I can keep giving back. Brenda Sanders

      My cousin (from Chicago) has breast cancer. It mastatized (sp?) to her liver. She has been participating in an experimental treatment study at MD Anderson in Houston for the last year...She has been staying at my mums house (across the street from me) and we take turns driving her to her appointments and staying with her when she gets her chemo. Cancer Sucks!
