2nd Annual Undie Awards Join the Fight Against Cervical Cancer
During this year’s Undie Awards, votes will count for more than opinions on underwear. For every person who goes to the Undies and votes, HerRoom, the sponsor of the awards, will donate 25 cents to the National Cervical Cancer Public Education Campaign. As a woman-owned site with a natural concern for women’s health, this seems like a good way for HerRoom to raise both money and public awareness.
The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2008, about 11,070 cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 3,870 women will die of the disease. The National Cervical Cancer Public Education Campaign is committed to eliminating cervical cancer completely and now that a cervical cancer vaccine is available, 70% of cervical cancers can be prevented.
The Undie Awards, which had over 12,000 participants last year, give underwear and lingerie-wearers out there (which is probably most of us) a chance to tout their favorite styles, both overall and in individual categories. And unlike American idol, where the least popular gets voted off, knowing which products are consumer favorites can definitely make it easier to shop.
To cast your vote and and to help make a difference in the fight against cervical cancer, go to The Undies and click on Vote. After you’ve voted, click on the Count Me In button to make your two cents worth of opinion worth 25 cents in the campaign to wipe out cervical cancer.
