Cook for the Cure
Developed in 2001, and presented by KitchenAid, this event was created to give passionate cooks a way to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Through donation-with-purchase programs, special fundraising events, auctions and grass roots initiatives, the Cook for the Cure program has raised more than $10 million globally to support the fight against breast cancer. KitchenAid also supports breast cancer foundations in other countries, including Canada, France, Germany, South Africa, Greece and Israel.
The Dependable Club Awards Criteria:
Thanks to the partnership between KitchenAid and Komen for the Cure, there are several ways to support the fight against breast cancer and help the millions of women who have been diagnosed with the disease:
- Buy a Pink Appliance — For each qualifying KitchenAid® pink appliance purchased, KitchenAid donates up to $50 to Komen for the Cure.
- Host a Fundraising Party — You can host a dinner party to raise funds to help fight breast cancer. Ask your guests to contribute by making a donation to Komen for the Cure. You or they can mail the contributions directly to Komen for the Cure. To receive a free Cook for the Cure® dinner party kit,
visit www.cookforthecure.com.
- Volunteer — Komen for the Cure is about people — people who are committed to making a difference and helping put an end to breast cancer. For more information on breast health or breast cancer,
visit www.komen.org or call 1-800-I'M AWARE.
KitchenAid, with help from Villeroy & Boch, is offering a ceramic serving plate that reads, "Cook for your friends. Cook for your family. Cook for the Cure®." The plate, marked by a pink ribbon, should be passed along to friends and family along with a culinary specialty prepared by the giver. Once the plate is passed, the recipient is then asked to do the same. Every time the plate is passed and registered, KitchenAid will donate $5 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
