· This Breast Cancer Site ad provides a wonderful way to give to a good cause for FREE!
Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! If every day enough people just click on their site, they can meet their goal of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman.
In 2007, visitor clicks funded over 3,800 mammograms. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on the pink button. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors and advertisers donate mammograms in exchange for advertising on The Breast Cancer Site. The higher the number of daily visits to the site, the more they donate. But since each person can only click once per day, we need to encourage more to help out.
Here's the website link. Pass it along to people you know, any way you can!
Click to Give @ The Breast Cancer Site (http://www.TheBreastCancerSite.com)
You could also sign up to receive their daily email reminder using their Remember to Click link.
