The Energizer Bunny hates breast cancer.

Do you hate breast cancer too?
Energizer now has a way for you to help raise some much needed jack for breast cancer research. C’mon, you’re already spending too much time trolling Facebook for long lost Jr. High crushes. Let’s use our FB addiction for good for once.

It’s easier than playing Farmville and your “friends” won’t block you for it.

Now go tell Energizer you like em’ already

Here, let me help…here’s the link

A little background…

Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure events will take place weekly from July to November in 15 places across the country, including:Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, Michigan, Twin Cities, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Dallas/Fort Worth, Phoenix and San Diego. Thousands of walkers are expected to train and participate in the events nationwide.

Energizer is supporting walkers in a much-needed way – by providing a place to recharge their equipment, bodies and spirit — and stay connected to family and friends at the end of each long day of walking.

The Energizer tent at 3-Day for the Cure camps will feature:

Laptops to empower walkers to share their experiences and stay connected with family and friends, as well as create awareness for the cause by posting a ribbon on the virtual ribbon tree at energizer.com/komen

The Recharge Station, where participants can rent Energizer® Energi To Go® portable power items such as the EnergiStick™ and XP 1000 portable cell phone chargers, as well as flashlights, lanterns and battery-operated games
Complimentary chair massages, generously donated by members of the American Massage Therapy Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the art, science and practice of massage therapy

Time for walkers to connect with the local Keep Going® blogger, who will be available to engage with walkers, discuss the 3-Day for the Cure experience, and share their stories of motivation and perseverance
“We are proud to continue our support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure and of walkers across the country as they unite for this important cause,” Olsen added.

“The Energizer Bunny® symbolizes the determination and resolve that the walkers are tapping into as they trek 60 miles in just three days, and we hope that they will feel motivated to keep working for a cure. We are excited to share this profound experience more widely this year with our Keep Going bloggers, inspiring a deeper sense of community and connection to the cause.”

“Energizer has been a great partner through the years. Their support allows Komen to fund community-based breast health programs and research focused on decreasing breast cancer incidence and mortality in the next decade,” said Katrina McGhee, senior vice president of global business development and partnerships at Susan G. Komen for the Cure. “As we continue on this decades-long mission to eradicate breast cancer and save lives, we are inspired by the spirit that Energizer and the 3-Day for the Cure walkers bring to this important cause.”
