KitchenAid Needs 1000 Cooks! Will YOU Help?

Just the word Kitchenaid gives me a happy feeling but even more so when I see them doing kind & charitable things for people and partnering with Cook for the Cure.  Since I’ve had two family members both dealing with Breast Cancer, then it’s very important for me to participate and spread the word.

From July 16, 2010 to July 18, 2010, cooks across America will be Cooking for the Cure and you can join in to help the cause!  It’s very simple and goes like this:

• Register to host a Cook for the Cure party, cookout, office party, or community dinner.
• Download the donation forms.
• Instead of asking guests to bring a dish, ask them to bring a donation to help fight Breast Cancer.
• Submit your donations before September 10, 2010 to be eligible for the plate or whenever just to support the cause!

If you raise $50 or more, you will be sent a Pass the Plate serving dish.  Use this serving dish and pass it on. Tell the person you are passing it on to, about the cause and how it works.  Every time the plate is passed and logged at the website, Kitchenaid makes a $5 donation to the cause. Pretty freakin’ awesome! 

And maybe you’re not into hosting parties and such….well consider doing this.  Create a meal for your family, call that your hosted party, and make the donation yourself!  You’re feeding the family of course but still supporting the cause!

What I plan to do is purchase one of Kitchenaid’s Pink kitchen products that supports the Susan G Komen cause and out of all the people who come and donate, I’ll draw a winner at my party to receive the Kitchenaid item!  It’s a win-win situation!  Some of the pink Cook for the Cure Kitchenaid products include:

So will you Cook for the Cure?!?  I sure hope so!  I’m headed to register now and will write about my party here!  If you host a party too, send me a photo and I’ll share it here with everyone! I’d love to see and hear about how your party went and donations earned, no  matter how big or small the amount is…IT ALL HELPS! You can see some other party photos over at Facebook!

To Celebrate the moment and the movement, I’m giving away a a KitchenAid 12 Cup Food Processor FIRE RED! WOOHOO!
