$5,000 for Breast Cancer Research Through Twitter: How You Can Help

As National Breast Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, we wanted to find one more way to put our support behind a cause that’s really close to us.  The Mushroom Council provided $50,000 to City of Hope’s cancer research program earlier in the year and turned boxes of mushrooms pink to raise further awareness.  Now with two days left, we have one more opportunity but will need your help.

Beginning at midnight tonight, we’re providing $5 for every new Twitter follower, up to $5,000 to further bolster the incredibly important research being done by City of Hope. Through 11:59pm on October 30, we hope you’ll help us to reach our goal to close an amazing month of awareness out on an exceptionally positive note.

To kick things off and to say thank you to the incredible community we’ve already found on Twitter, we’ll be providing $1 per current follower as of 11:59PM tonight, 10/28.

So if you’re not already following The Mushroom Channel on Twitter, please join in sometime between 12AM on 10/29 and 11:59PM on 10/30 to make your voice heard in the battle against breast cancer.

A head start? A sample tweet that would help us reach our goal:
