An Evening in Pink

We are excited to announce our 1st Annual Evening in Pink on Tuesday, October 30 at Tahitian Noni International in Provo. It will begin at 7:00. We will announce the women with breast cancer that we are going to help. We will also enjoy some live entertainment, a chocolate fountain, a video about the woman selected, and a silent auction to raise money for more women with breast cancer. Please email me to learn more at shannon.golladay@foreverybody.com.

We hope to see you there!

Think Pink!

Think Pink is our breast cancer campaign. I've written about it a few times, but now we have the official name. The purpose of the campaign is to raise awareness of breast cancer and help one woman with the illness. We chose "Think Pink" because it sums up what we're trying to do.

We have received many stories. The last day to submit a story is Oct. 20. We will select one woman from those stories by the end of October. We are also starting a blog for our Think Pink campaign. We will post stories on the blog daily so you can read about these amazing women.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Becky Anderson, our founder, feels strongly about supporting breast cancer. In 1999, she created a candle called, "Hope for a Cure" to create awareness of breast cancer. It is sold in several different retail locations throughout the United States. Over 1,500 candles have been donated to local hospitals each year since 2001 to raise awareness of breast cancer. Each woman who receives a mammogram in October receives a free candle.

This year we are expanding our support. We are donating candles with a total value of $18,000 to local hospitals, and giving aid to one woman in the United States with breast cancer. We plan to give this woman up to $10,000 to help her in areas such as day care, housekeeping, and paying medical bills. We will also highlight this woman on our website for one year and follow her progress. Women can submit their stories to http://www.foreverybody.com/ until Oct. 20. One woman will be selected at the end of October.

Submit Your Breast Cancer Story

For the past eight years, we have supported breast cancer awareness. In 1999, we created a 9 oz., pink, plumeria scented candle called “Hope for a Cure.” It was developed to support the fight against breast cancer when we learned that the mother of one of our employees was suffering with the disease.

The candle is sold in several different retail locations throughout the United States. A portion of the proceeds go toward breast cancer research. Every year since 2001 we have donated over 1,500 these candles to local hospitals in Utah for women who receive a mammogram in October.

This year, we are highlighting one woman on our website for one year, and helping them emotionally and financially. From June 1 to August 31, we will be accepting stories from women in the United States. We will help in areas such as day care, housekeeping, medical bills, etc. Please submit your story or the story of someone close to you on our website at www.foreverybody.com. We will announce our selection at the end of September.
