This year, 2008, Yoplait Yogurt will be celebrating 10 years of its Save Lids to Save Lives program. To date, Yoplait has donated more than $19 million to the breast cancer cause.(1) Do you remember how this program works, they donate $0.10 for every pink lid mailed in. Wow- that is 190,000,000 pink lids!
I remember the first year Yoplait ran the program. I was very excited to see such a simple way to help a very important cause. All I had to do was mail in the pretty pink foil lid... of course, I had to buy the yogurt- but I do that already. Actually, I only buy Yoplait yogurt during the month of October (Breast Cancer Awareness month). I am willing to pay more for the lesser amount throughout the month for this cause. I look forward to October for many reasons, Yoplait yogurt is one of them! lol
For every year since 1998, I have participated in the Save Lids program- some years I have mailed in only a few, while others I collected large amounts from friends and family. I am happy knowing that my small effort has helped raise more than $19 million!
Amazingly, yogurt is a very practical choice to pair with Breast Cancer Awareness- yogurt is very wonderful food for women and woman's health.
Yogurt Benefits for women include:
