Susan G Komen for the Cure
In 1982, Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. After Susan Komen lost her valiant battle Nancy set up SGK For the Cure Foundation. This organization has done amazing things to further the awareness and the need to find a cure for Breast Cancer. Aside from spearheading the Think Pink for October movement, they have donated over $1.9 billion. To date they are the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to this battle and we are proud to be working with them. Through this collection we hope to raise over $200,000. Visit www.komen.org
The Samburu Project
As we all know, the Horn of Africa is experiencing a drought and famine situation of epic proportions. Every day thousands of children die due to the lack of access to clean safe drinking water. The Samburu Project provides a simple solution to this extraordinary problem. They have drilled 40 wells in Samburu, Kenya benefitting 40,000 people and helping them end their lifelong struggle to find this precious resource. Instead of trekking 8 to 10miles a day to find water, the villages now can focus on things like education and community development. We partnered with The Samburu project to drill a well in Kenya. We are happy to announce that our Forever 21 Well will benefit 26 villages and over 1500 people. Visit www.thesamburuproject.org
