Wacoal Fit For The Cure is an annual breast cancer fundraising campaign to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Wacoal, designer of intimate apparel in the United States, Japan, Asia and Europe, will donate $2 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation for each woman who receives a complimentary fitting from a Wacoal fit specialist, or $2 donation for every bra purchase.

Wacoal has set a goal of raising $1,000,000 dollars for breast cancer research and prevention, and has guaranteed a minimum donation of $200,000 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. If you are interested in participating in this fundraiser, you can learn all the details about the campaign and find the nearest retailer by visiting Wacoal's Fit For The Cure campaign page.

In April 2004, Rachael Smith was diagnosed with breast cancer. Like Smith, we all own stuff we no longer need or want, but have not gotten around to doing anything with, other than make an occasional passing comment that something should be done - with all that stuff. Smith got an idea that would allow her to clean out the corners and eliminate the piles of stuff, while doing something good at the same time. With the help of her friends, Smith set out to reinvent the yard sale. Yard Sale for the Cure was born.

Yard Sale for the Cure is an organization that raises money for breast cancer research and treatment by holding massive yard sales in selected neighborhoods. During the first fundraiser, over 357 local yard sales raised more than $45,000 dollars for Princess Margaret Hospital's Campbell Family Institute for Breast Cancer Research, Toronto East General Hospital's oncology unit and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's Ontario chapter.

This year's Yard Sale for the Cure is scheduled for May 27. There are more neighborhoods involved in this year's gigantic yard sale, and as a result, Smith hopes to raise even more money this year for charity. This seems like a win-win spring cleaning idea for any group of neighbors.

Just Giving is an online forum community where online donors can share ideas and information on successful fundraising.

Marcia Mercier, an eight year breast cancer survivor and Just Giving member, is planning to celebrate her 40th birthday by trekking the Great Wall of China to raise money for Breast Cancer Care. According to Mercier, who was 32 at the time of her breast cancer diagnosis, and a young mother of two small boys, Breast Cancer Care was her lifeline throughout her experience with breast cancer. She has been active as a Breast Cancer Care Helpline Volunteer and Peer Supporter, and now wants to do more. Mercier is hoping to raise £2,500 for the breast cancer charity during her Great Wall of China trek.
