July 11 (Day 133) Sunday - Sundae

The temperatures around the northeast have been soaring for the past week or so... I thought I would highlight a cool refreshing way to make a difference!  AND BEST OF ALL - it's FREE!!



Help Kelly Ripa and Electrolux build Banana Splits for a Cause.  Indulge your virtual sweet tooth and build a banana split! Each day you do, Electrolux will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Plus, you'll be entered for a chance to win the daily prize, $50 toward sweet summer treats, AND the grand prize - the ultimate kitchen "split" - the new stand-alone refrigerator and freezer from Electrolux.2. (You don't have to register for the prizes)


Well, okay - I admit it - I am taking a little bit of writer's liberty with today's post.  To be more precise, it is a virtually cool and refreshing way to make a difference.     It only takes a minute or less to create a Banana Split - so go ahead and take a minute to help out a worthy cause!  Plus... this Banana Split has no calories!!




A Quick Update:

I received a thank you from Be The Match Foundation to pass along to all of you who had a part in helping them win a $100,000 grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project.  Thanks to all of you who took the time to participate and vote,  Be The Match will be able to assist many families of pediatric bone marrow transplants.  Press release below:



Purchase, N.Y. -- June 25, 2010


After three weeks of intense campaigning and more than 500,000 votes, racing fans have let their voice be heard – Jimmie Johnson’s idea to provide financial relief to pediatric bone marrow transplant patients as part of Be The Match Foundation has taken the checkered flag and will receive a $100,000 grant as part of the Pepsi Refresh Project.

“I’m thrilled that $100,000 will be going to Be The Match Foundation,” said Johnson. “This Pepsi Refresh grant will help kids and their families with the overwhelming costs that come with a bone marrow transplant. I’d like to thank everyone who voted -- the support that all of us have seen has been incredible.”
