Michelle Moquin's "A day in the life of…"

Hey Zen Lill: Thanks for informing us of your charity event today. I perused the website that you linked, and realized that this isn’t the first time that I have heard about Pepsi’s program to fund great ideas. I love the concept and I wish the event much success. Since you are helping with the event, I thought maybe I could help generate some votes by blogging about it.

Readers: In case you aren’t familiar with what Zen Lill and I are talking about. It’s called the Pepsi Refresh Project. Pepsi gives away $1,300,000 each month to fund great ideas. I am encouraging you to read the blurb below, and check out DKMS. This is a campaign whose goal is to save the lives of Leukemia patients by registering new bone marrow donors. However it takes money to register new donors.

DKMS is asking for the $250K grant which will pay for 4,000 new donor registrations. And basically to get the grant they need people to vote for their cause. The top two campaigns, the ones with the most votes, will get the grants. Simple, but they need votes. Right now the campaign is ranked #130. Not bad, but they need a lot more votes to slide into the #1 or even the #2 spot.

How about a little help?

Do you think saving lives is a good reason to vote for DKMS? Who wouldn’t? I certainly do. If you do too,  then go to the website and vote.  And like ZL said, “…if you’re near Hollywood and Franklin stop in for some fun…if you’re so inclined, save a life, might be the best thing you ever do with yours.” So go and vote and perhaps even become a bone marrow donor. You just might be the one they call when a life needs to be saved. How cool would that be?

New Sally Hansen campaign to benefit DKMS

THE POWER TO SAVE A LIFE IS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
WITH THE SALLY HANSEN “COLOR THAT CARES” CAMPAIGN BENEFITING DKMS

Color for a cause. It’s not every day you get the opportunity to help save a life when you get a manicure. But with Sally Hansen and DKMS lifesaving is at your fingertips. To help draw attention to the DKMS mission to save lives by recruiting donors, the world’s largest bone marrow center is partnering with Sally Hansen to kick off a mulit-city “Color That Cares” campaign.

For the culmination of the campaign, DKMS and Sally Hansen are hosting an event in Los Angeles at Hollywood and Highland on June 10th, where the nail authority will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most manicures done in a day and Actress TK will be on hand to help launch the initiative. The Color that Cares program will be offering complimentary manicures featuring the new Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure and encouraging visitors to register as donors for DKMS. Fans unable to make it to Los Angeles can get involved online by uploading digital photos of their own Sally Hansen manicures to the Sally Hansen Facebook page to benefit DKMS.

To raise awareness about the Color That Cares program, Sally Hansen and DKMS are debuting a print advertising campaign this April, highlighting the crucial cause that the program benefits. Proceeds from the sales of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure will support DKMS as well, raising further awareness—and funds—for the cause.
