My Thirty-One Goes Pink

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is the time of year where you see pink everywhere to increase the awareness of this disease. It is also a great time to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention and cure

If you place a Thirty-One online order with me in the month of October, I will donate 20% of the sale to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. All you need to do is visit my website, www.Amy31.com and click on place an order. From there you just shop away and know you are helping a worthy cause.

I will keep a running total of how much has been raised here on my blog. At the end of the month, I will also draw a name for someone to win a free (retired style) Pink Ditzy Thermal Tote with the Thirty-One logo on it.

I'm sure many of you have known someone affected by breast cancer too. I good friend of mine is battling this disease for the second time (and is winning... again). We are the same age and both have young daughters. Many times I've felt so helpless. This is my little way to do what I can for my friend, our daughters and all the courageous women fighting this disease.

(This only applies to orders placed online throught Amy31.com or called in to me directly at 603-232-5655. This does not apply on orders from my home parties. This is my own personal fundraising effort and is not one of all Thirty-One Consultants.)

Thirty-One across the USA

It's really amazing how much Thirty-One Gifts has grown in the past year. I remember last October, as we celebrated our 5th anniversary, we also celebrated signing out 5, 000th consultant. Now, just about a year later, we have had more than 11,000 people join Thirty-One. Even though not all 11, 000+ are still active, we are still growing by leaps and bounds every day.

Click here to see where Thirty-One Consultants are throughout the United States. (This map is current as of September 29, 2009). Last year, there were 285 active Consultants in North Carolina. This year, there are over 800 active Consultants in NC, which is the state with the most Consultants. Wow!

If you would like to be part of such an amazing company or if you simply would like more information, please call me at 603-232-5655 or email me at AmyLachance@hotmail.com or simply fill out the form on the top right column of this blog.
