Raise Money to fight Cervical Cancer

Posted on April 17, 2008 in General, Mom by Emilie

I recently received an email about an important fundraising opportunity that is so easy and so important. Here are the details.

Something as simple as voting for your favorite underwear can contribute to the awareness and research of preventing cervical cancer. More importantly, if you can help us get 100,000 people to vote, we can together raise $25,000 for The National Cervical Cancer Public Education Campaign.

I am writing on behalf of The Conversation Group, a San Francisco-based company devoted to participatory media. Currently, we are working with HerRoom.com to let people know about HerRoom.com’s annual Undie Awards, http://www.theundies.com and how participating in this fun “awards” ceremony will also benefit cancer research.

Taking place during April in conjunction with Cancer Awareness Month, the annual contest lets American men and women cast their votes for their favorite brand of underwear. This year, HerRoom.com, the organizers of The Undie Awards, have pledged to donate twenty-five cents for each individual voter to The National Cervical Cancer Public Education Campaign (up to a maximum of 100,000 voters).

Last year 12,500 people participated in the “Undie Awards,” This year, Tomima Edmark, Founder and President of HerRoom.com, wanted to make the popularity of this fun event something that could also contribute positively to women’s health and wellness. With approximately half a million new cervical cancer diagnoses each year worldwide, we all know someone who has been touched by this deadly disease.
