Valencia, PA 5/7/2008 — In celebration of Mother's Day and all the women in our lives, Hollywood's most famous moms, including Sharon Stone, Courteney Cox Arquette, Faith Hill, Jennifer Garner and Olivia Newton-John have autographed Pampered Chef limited-edition pink products to support the American Cancer Society.
"Almost everyone knows someone, whether it be a mother, wife, sister, daughter or friend who has been affected by breast cancer," said Doris Christopher, founder and chairman of The Pampered Chef. "The goal of this campaign is not only to spread awareness and promote education surrounding breast cancer. It's also about supporting women who have been touched by breast cancer and celebrating their extraordinary strength. Mother's Day is the perfect day to honor these women and 'Help Whip Cancer' at the same time."
In its ninth year, The Pampered Chef "Help Whip Cancer" national campaign will also offer a collection of limited-edition pink products including Pink Kitchen Gloves, Pink Mini Scoop and Measure and the Pink Kitchen Brush to raise funds in support of breast cancer education and early detection programs. For each product purchased, The Pampered Chef will contribute one dollar to support the American Cancer Society. Each May, Pampered Chef Independent Consultants educate millions of people across the United States on breast cancer awareness through Help Whip Cancer Fundraiser Cooking Shows. Guests can taste delicious recipes and receive valuable cooking and entertaining tips from an experienced Consultant while raising money for breast cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer remains the most common form of cancer among women in the United States and every woman has a chance of developing breast cancer. Thanks to early detection through regular mammograms and effective treatment, the five-year survival rate has improved to an astounding 98 percent.
Please join The Pampered Chef and celebrity moms like Jane Seymour, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tori Spelling, Meredith Vieira, Melora Hardin, Nancy O'Dell, Samantha Harris, the ladies of "The View" including Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck to "Help Whip Cancer." Auction proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society.
Since 2000, The Pampered Chef has raised more than $6 million for the American Cancer Society.
