Log on to Facebook and find the "Pink Ribbon Army"

500,000+ Facebook Fans have already joined the “Pink Ribbon Army” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Are you a part of the Army?  When the Pink Ribbon Army reaches one million, TheBreastCancerSite.com will donate $25,000 to the Mayo Clinic for breast cancer site research. We're over halfway there!!

TheBreastCancerSite.com is observing Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October by creating the “Pink Ribbon Army,” a new badge application to raise awareness and fight the disease which afflicts millions of women around the world.

With more than 2.6 million fans, TheBreastCancerSite.com has the largest health and wellness page on Facebook.  More than 500,000 Facebook users have already signed up to join the Pink Ribbon Army, creating a major head start towards an overall goal of one million members.

Clicks, donations and purchases from TheBreastCancerSite.com funded more than 6,900 mammograms in 2010 for women who were among the working poor, the homeless or the uninsured.

Facebook users will receive a free Pink Ribbon pin when they post the badge on their home page, and a free Pink Ribbon bracelet when they recruit ten friends to the Pink Ribbon Army.  A “facepile” application shows users which of their Facebook friends has joined the cause.

Anyone can join by visiting Facebook and searching “Pink Ribbon Army.”  A link to the new Facebook app will also appear on the TheBreastCancerSite.com

Members of the Pink Ribbon Army will be invited to visit TheBreastCancerSite.com, where they can click on the site’s pink home page button to fund mammograms in communities across the United States, in cooperation with the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  A portion of all purchases from TheBreastCancerSite.com store also goes to fund mammograms.
