Think Pink: Cook for the Cure

In just two short weeks, cooks all over the country will be gathering their friends and family for food, fun, and raising money to support breast cancer research. KitchenAid and Komen for the Cure have been working together to organize this event. Their goal? To have 1,000 Cook for the Cure parties across America during the weekend of July 16-18.

1,000 Cooks for the Cure is a new event this year, giving home cooks the opportunity to pair their passion for cooking with the important cause of finding a cure for breast cancer. One in eight women born today will be diagnosed with breast cancer, making it very likely you have already had your life affected by a breast cancer diagnosis.

So far the Cook for the Cure program, which KitchenAid sells special pink versions of their appliances for, has raised $7 million to help with breast cancer research. We can help raise that number.

I’ll be hosting a Cook for the Cure brunch at my house on July 18. The amazing folks at Kohana Coffee will be providing hot and cold brew coffees, and my friends at Retro Bizzaro will be providing some yummy pastries. There will also be a selection of other brunch treats, made by yours truly.

If you would like to attend, please leave a comment and I’ll contact you with the details.

You might be saying, “No one close to me has had breast cancer.” To that I say, so what? No one close to me has either. But someday, I might. Someday, I might get it myself. Someday, you could too. (Yes, even if you are a man.) So consider your mother, wife, daughter, and yourself when you think about breast cancer. Forego next week’s latte and doughnut and open your wallet!
