Breast Cancer Awareness: Giving Hope a Hand With Cottonelle {$50 Gift Card Giveaway}
Wednesday, September 28, 2011
Leave a Comment
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we're kicking it off early by highlighting a partnership that shows support and raises breast cancer awareness through the Giving Hope a Hand initiative. Cottonelle brand and additional partner companies will assist Kroger in raising $3 million for breast cancer awareness, treatment and research in the communities we share. We can help others fight and win the fight against breast cancer.
Breast Cancer By The Numbers:
- Estimated 180,000 women will be newly diagnosed with breast cancer this year.
- Roughly 41,000 will die from breast cancer this year.
- More than 2 million women are survivors of breast cancer.
- 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
- 1 in 33 women will die from breast cancer.
- Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women, behind lung cancer.
- When it is detected early, the five-year survival rate exceeds 95%.
How We Can Lend A Hand:
People pay great attention to the look and feel of the bathroom… except when it comes to one of the most important elements: toilet paper. The Cottonelle brand wants people to take notice, and care for their toilet paper like never before by using toilet paper roll covers.
In an effort to raise breast cancer awareness this October, the Cottonelle brand will be offering pink toilet paper roll covers for a limited time. From September 25-October 8, visit Kroger to purchase specially marked packages of Cottonelle Clean Care, our most care-worthy toilet paper yet, and receive a printout with instructions on how to redeem a free pink toilet paper roll cover.
My friends at Cottonelle, sent me my own pink toilet paper cover and it looks quite nicely in my bathroom, I must say so myself.

When I was 7 one of my mother's friends died of breast cancer. I remember driving her to her chemo appointments. It definitely left an impression on me because she was the first person I ever knew who passed away.

My husband had colon cancer which made me and his whole family more aware and have cancer screenings. I did have a neighbor when I was a child that had breast cancer which was my first knowledge of the disease.

My aunt on my fathers side died of breast cancer and I know a co-worker who had breast cancer and fortunately she is cancer free. I'll be honest and say this is once cancer that scares me. It has opened my eyes and made me aware.

A year or so ago a mammogram revealed a lump in my breast. I had a biopsy that showed the lump to be benign, thank goodness, but that experience seriously raised my awareness. It's fightening to think that I had a lump and didn't know it and what it might have been.

My great grandmother had it in one breast but, I was very young. A woman from my church had it in one breast and had a full mastectomy. Watching her go through the treatment, etc made me want to raise more awareness.
