October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and General Mills has teamed up with the Komen Organization to help raise funds. Our family has been drastically changed due to cancer overcoming several of our family members. Finding a cure is something we pray for everyday.

This is in addition to a $2 million donation General Mills is making to the Komen organization.
This year, for the first time in its five-year history, at PinkTogether.com consumers can choose how $1 million of this donation will be shared between two important Komen programs: the Treatment and Assistance Program, which assists women in securing care they otherwise may not be able to afford, and Prevention Research, which helps unlock the keys to preventing breast cancer.
