CELEBRATE THE WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE THIS MAY TO HELP WHIP CANCER


Join The Pampered Chef® to Raise Funds for the Fight Against Breast Cancer
Lucas, TX May 22, 2010 — With more than 2.5 million breast cancers survivors in the U.S. today, The Pampered Chef, in collaboration with the American Cancer Society®, is honoring women everywhere by raising funds for education and early detection programs through its Help Whip Cancer campaign.
This May, in honor of Mother's Day, The Pampered Chef invites people to celebrate mothers, sisters and friends by hosting a Help Whip Cancer Fundraiser Cooking Show. Guests can taste delicious, affordable recipes and receive valuable cooking tips while raising money for breast cancer awareness and early detection. Up to 25 percent of total Help Whip Cancer Fundraiser Show sales will be contributed to the American Cancer Society to help save lives from breast cancer.

People can also Help Whip Cancer by purchasing pink limited-edition kitchen tools from The Pampered Chef through the month of May. One dollar from every pink item purchased will go to the American Cancer Society. The limited-edition products include: Pink & White Dots Martini Glasses, Pink Color-Coated Tomato Knife, Pink & White Twixit! Clip Combo Pack, Help Whip Cancer Reusable Shopping Bag and Sweet Honey Vanilla Sprinkle, which is a delicious topper on cookies, cupcakes, pancakes and even grilled fruit.
Since Help Whip Cancer began in 2000, The Pampered Chef has raised more than $7.9 million for the American Cancer Society. Last year, the campaign raised more than $875,000 from Help Whip Cancer Fundraiser Shows and special pink-themed product sales.
“Through Pampered Chef Fundraisers and pink product purchases, people can help save lives by raising funds and awareness for breast cancer this May," says Scott Bennett, national vice president of marketing for the American Cancer Society. "With the continued efforts of The Pampered Chef, we are getting closer to a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays.”
The Pampered Chef is the premier direct seller of kitchen tools. Its independent consultants provide recipes, tools and tips for quick and simple food preparation. To support breast cancer awareness this May, try this new pink dessert that is sure to get everyone asking for seconds.
