Pay It Forward: Purina $2 Donation

You are invited to join Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Cat Nap for the Cause, which encourages breast cancer awareness supporters to take a 20-minute cat nap to support breast cancer. For each “cat napper” that signs up on their Facebook page, Purina Cat Chow will donate $2, up to $150,000 – on top of their 2010 donation of $200,000! All donations go directly to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. 

Inspired by cancer survivors’ stories of the role their cats played during their battle with cancer, Purina Cat Chow first began a relationship with Susan G. Komen to honor the unique bond between cat owners and their cats. In fact, a recent Purina Cat Chow national survey of breast cancer survivors with cats showed that more than 84 percent of respondents felt their cat had a calming effect during their battle with breast cancer and nearly seven out of 10 said their cats were a source of comfort when battling the disease.

Actress Kate Walsh has teamed up with Purina Cat Chow as spokesperson for Cat Nap for the Cause! Kate Walsh is not only a breast cancer awareness supporter – her mother is a more than 10-year breast cancer survivor. Kate along with other celebrity supporters will donate personalized blankets, perfect for a cat nap, to raise awareness for the campaign. You are invited to register for a chance to win a celebrity Cat Nap for the Cause blanket.

To thank you for helping with this cause you are being offered a coupon for a free 16 oz. bag of Purina Cat Chow as an incentive to help. After all, what is better than napping for a good cause? And it takes only a minute to sign up! Just visit Cat Chow on Facebook and click “Cat Nap.”
