June 4-6th, 2007

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Meade

I belong to a wonderful group of bloggers known as the Beauty Blog Network. Recently, some of these women have had their lives turned upside down by the diagnosis of cancer in either themselves or a loved one. Elke Von Freudenberg, founder of the Network, has responded with the terrific idea of “Comments4aCure.” On June 4-6, 2007, twenty-five participating bloggers will be joining together to raise money and increase awareness for cancer charities.

On these dates participating beauty bloggers will donate a specified dollar amount for each comment posted on their blog those days to the cancer charity of their choice.

For a list of participating bloggers, please visit Comments4aCure.

The Perfume Bee will be donating to The National Brain Tumor Foundation. I will donate $1 per comment up to $100. So comment freely, and comment often! I urge you to visit all the wonderful blogs that will be participating in this worthwhile event and leave a comment. It’s an easy way to help raise money to find a cure for a dreadful disease, and it is a fun way to see some very cool blogs.

In addition to our Comments4aCure campaign, the Network has created other outlets for fund-raising for cancer awareness and prevention:

• Coments4aCure CafePress Boutique
  Teri from Beautiful Makeup Search has set up a terrific Cafe Press store filled with great merchandise displaying the Comments for a Cure logo. Notepaper, mugs, shirts… it’s a great collection of items to choose from. Beautiful Makeup Search will donate profits from the sale of Comments4aCure gear to The Brain Tumor Foundation.
• Beauty Goodie Bag Auction on Ebay / Mission Fish Auction
  A giant goodie bag, overflowing with the latest and greatest beauty finds, will be auctioned off on Ebay, via Mission Fish to the American Cancer Society. The auction will start on June 10 and run for 7 days.
• Beauty Blog Members Ebay Auction
  Several of the Network members have put together their own goodie bags full of their personal favorites and will auction them off via Ebay. Auctions will be announced.

I’ll post a reminder as the date approaches. Meanwhile, please mark your calendars for June 4-6, and keep tabs on news and updates by visiting the Comments4aCure website.
