No, really, it’s true. M&Ms has guaranteed a minimum contribution of $650,000 to the Susan G. Komen Fund for the cure of breast cancer. You can help make it even more just by indulging in your need for chocolate. M&Ms is actually doing a great deal to help find a cure for breast cancer. They’ve promised to invest $500,000 create awareness for breast cancer at the Bank of America 500, promised at least $650,000 from the sale of packages of PINK M&Ms, plus 10% of Promise blend purchases at www.mymms.com/sgk and 10% of the retail sales price of special gift items at M&Ms World stores.

That’s not all, though. You can also help out in a healthier (for you) way by eating Yoplait yogurt – but only the ones with pink lids. You’ll also need to send the lids in this month. Yoplait has guaranteed a minimum of $500,000 and will contribute up to $1.5 million based on the number of lids they receive. More info at www.yourlidmatters.com.

And between now and the end of the year, every time you buy a Lean Cuisine dinner, Lean Cuisine will make a contribution to the fund for the cure with a guarantee of at least $150,000. In addition, they’ll donate $5 for every $9.95 designer insulated lunch bag that they sell at www.LeanCuisine.com.
