Buckets for the Cure

Just wanted to share this with all of you. What a great idea! These would be great for picnics, Sunday lunches or even to take to families in need or those affected by this.


Have you heard about Buckets for the Cure?

KFC and Susan G. Komen for the Cure® are teaming up this spring to raise funds and spread breast cancer awareness and educational messaging via a major national campaign which will reach thousands of communities served by nearly 5000 KFC restaurants.

Participating KFC franchise locations will be selling specially designed pink buckets of grilled and Original Recipe chicken. KFC has pledged 50 cents to Komen for every pink bucket ordered by its restaurant operators during the promotion period, with a minimum donation of $1 million and a goal to raise more than $8 million. Twenty-five percent of the funds raised will be earmarked to Komen's 120-plus domestic Affiliates for breast cancer programs in their communities. The remainder of the funds will support Komen's national research and community programs.

The lids of these special pink buckets will have a call to action to get involved. Names of breast cancer survivors and those who have lost their battle with breast cancer will be listed on the sides of the bucket. The pink buckets will be available through May 30, or while supplies last. 



Each bucket makes a difference!
