Breast Cancer Survivors Recipe Contest!
Ribbon Chick (www.ribbonchick.com) has spent the last several years dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer and supporting fund-raising activities to provide charitable donations for breast cancer education and research. Two years ago, we published the popular book "Around My Mother’s Table," a unique recipe collection complete with touching stories of sons and daughters who lost their mothers to breast cancer. This moving and personal book of stories and recipes celebrates not only the delicious and creative ways in which our mothers fed our bodies over the years, but also the immeasurable ways in which our mother fed our hearts and souls.
Now Ribbon Chick proudly announces our First Annual A la Pink: Breast Cancer Survivors Recipe Contest. Ribbon Chick invites women who are battling the disease or who have declared victory and are cancer-free to submit their favorite tasty recipes and personal stories of inspiration, hope and survival. Recipe will be submitted via our online submission form http://www.ribbonchick.com/contest2.php along with stories and photos.
Judges include gourmet food experts, celebrity chefs or food connoisseurs. Recipes can be submitted online http://www.ribbonchick.com/recipestoryform2.php or during two Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events in which Ribbon Chick staff will be attending, distributing information and accepting submissions. Event locations include Kansas City on August 10, 2008 and St. Louis, Missouri on June 21, 2008. Winning recipes will be selected in August. The grand prize is an all-expense-paid trip to New York City to participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure on September 14, 2008, and a feature in Burton’s new book "Around My Table" scheduled to be published in 2009. Runners-up will receive special recognition in all publicity materials, featured on Ribbon Chick Web site, an acknowledgement in "Around My Table."
We need your help to spread the word about this contest to help us create a supportive community of women who have a place and a reason to share their stories. We would greatly appreciate it if you could either publicize or pass this information onto any women you know who could benefit. We are also creating a bi-weekly newsletter titled "Feast of Love" to share stories and recipes with others. Please feel free to sign up for the newsletter by going to our Web site at www.ribbonchick.com If you have any questions about the contest, please contact Michelle Gamble-Risley at michelle.risley@gmail.com
Thank you in advance for your support!
