Did you know that the Yoplait Save Lids Save Lives Program can help those afflicted with breast cancer and those that will get breast cancer?  Here’s a startling statistic:  one in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer within her lifetime – our friends, wives, mothers, sisters, neighbors.

My household has been hit hard by this disease, for my own mother-in-law died from breast cancer.  So as you can imagine, the cause of finding a cure for breast cancer is very near and dear to my family's hearts.  This year, the fight against breast cancer starts right next door with the Yoplait Save Lids Save Lives Program!

That´s because, through Yoplait Save Lids to Save Lives, Yoplait will donate ten cents to Susan G. Komen for the Cure^® for each pink lid redeemed both online at Yoplait.comand via mail by December 31, 2011, up to $2 million. Plus, Yoplait is tracking pink lids redeemed by zip code to make sure funds generated from your lid collection go back to local breast cancer programs in your community. Here´s how you can support your local community´s fight and get involved in the Yoplait Save Lids Save Lives Program:

• Look for special pink lids on pink Yoplait yogurt cups, in grocery stores in September and October
• Save your pink lids and redeem them via mail, or – for the first time – redeem them online at Yoplait.com. Make sure you enter your zip code when redeeming lids online!

On Yoplait.com, you can dedicate your lid to a woman who means something to you, read inspirational stories about those making a difference in the fight against breast cancer, and find out how to support your local Susan G. Komen Affiliate.

During the past 13 years, Yoplait has donated more than $30 million to the breast cancer cause through all of its breast cancer initiatives.  Let’s help boost those numbers to help this cause by participating in the Yoplait Save Lids Save Lives Program!

One lucky reader will win a Yoplait Save Lids Save Lives Prize Pack that includes 2 VIP coupons (each valid for one free Yoplait yogurt core cup product), a Yoplait pink lid collection kit, tote bag, heart-shaped key holder, hope journal, and pen, thanks to Yoplait and MyBlogSpark!
