Mammogram Promise Campaign

Let the 3rd Annual Make a Mammogram Promise Campaign Begin!

Here we are! The 3rd Annual Make a Mammogram Promise! The season of Pink and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

As we have for the past two years, we welcome and encourage you… whether you are man, woman, young, or old, to do two things: Educate yourself about the risks and symptoms of breast cancer and, To take action by helping women around you do the same. But in between, don’t forget to make your 2011 Mammogram Promise!

By making a promise you’re just saying, “I promise to get a mammogram or encourage others to do so.” You’re just showing that you care about the health of yourself and the women around you. You can make a promise for yourself or someone you love. Even if you’re a man.

As in the past two years, we’ve sweetened the pot and made our little campaign a lot easier in the process. Here’s what you do:

1. Make a Promise: Go to www.mammogrampromise.org, enter your email and click ‘I Promise’

BOOM! You’re entered to win one of the 31 prizes we’ll be handing out — starting Saturday, October 1!

2. Spread the Word and Collect Promises:

Once you Make a Mammogram Promise, your personalized Dashboard will allow you to invite others to make a promise via email, Facebook, Twitter, and individualized widget. You will be awarded one promise for every person that makes a promise using your special url/link.

The Prizes:

We’ve leveled the playing field here and decided to just hand out as much amazing stuff as possible during the month of October. So for instance, if you win on Saturday, October 1, you’ll win a dinner for four at The Georgian in the Fairmont Hotel. That’s a $250 value! Cool, no?

There are over $5,000 worth of prizes this month from Seattle Sounders tickets for four to dinner at Flying Fish, as well as gift certificates to Fran’s Chocolates and Chocolopolis, Swink Style Bar, Wild Ginger, and Semiahmoo, and… so much more. Browse all 31 prizes and start collecting promises!

The Party:

OK, one final thing. Seattle Met Magazine is hosting a breast cancer awareness party, Behind the Pink Ropes, A Celebration of the Women We Love, at University Village (U Village) on Wed., Oct. 12 from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. Tickets are $20 each and proceeds benefit Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. You should check in at the “Promise Lounge” at Sonrisa for drinks, appetizers, and a special gift bag to fill with prizes from participating vendors.
