CLOSED: Yoplait's 'Save Lids to Save Lives' Campaign (+Giveaway)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

All of us know someone who has been affected by breast cancer...someone who is battling the same or even someone who fought the fight and is now resting in her Maker.
It's no longer a hush-hush thing that nobody talks about especially since Susan G. Komen's research states that over 10 million people could die of breast cancer in the next 25 years. SCARY!!

Thank God for organizations like Yoplait that have stepped up to the plate to proactively make a difference in the lives of many through their Save Lids to Save Lives campaign.


Can I help?

Sure! Your family loves Yoplait products right?

Well the next time look out for the participating Yoplait products like the single serve yogurt cups – Original, Light, Thick & Creamy, Light Thick & Creamy, Whips!, Yoplait Delights, Yoplait Greek and select specially-marked packages of large size Yoplait yogurts and Yoplait Frozen Smoothies.
Then just save the pink lids from the products and mail it in to Yoplait by December 31 2010.


Send the lids....Then what?

For every pink lid saved and sent in by December 31 2010, Yoplait will donate 10 cents to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, with a total donation of up to $1.6 million and a guaranteed minimum donation of $500,000.

Just to encourage you to help push to reach that goal, you will be excited to know that Yoplait has raised more than $25 million for the breast cancer cause since the past 12 years. What a blessing!


Is there anything else I can do?

Oh yes! Please spread the buzz. You can even share a FREE virtual Save Lids to Save Lives gift on Facebook to each friend on your list. For each gift sent Yoplait will donate 1 US$ to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Let's get to work! ....But before you hop away, add your name in The Save Lids to Save Lives pack giveaway that includes

• 2 VIP Coupons for Yoplait Greek
• A pink leather journal
• A pink pen
• An awareness charm bracelet
• A 25$ donation receipt that confirms that a 25$ donation will be made to Susan G Komen for the Cure, on your behalf, by Yoplait. ...An invaluable prize.

Yoplait yogurt review and a Giftbag giveaway

Did you know that ....

• 76% of the population does not get enough vitamin D into their body systems?
• 72% of the population does not get the required amount of calcium in their diets?
• There is only 1 brand of yogurt that is rich in calcium AND vitamin D? I didn't! Yoplait yogurt is that only brand!

Ok so it has vitamin D...what's so big about that?

Did you know that you need vitamin D to help your body absorb the calcium you intake, to build and maintain strong and healthy bones?

People till the age of 50 need to absorb a minimum of 200 units of Vitamin D while people between the age of 51-70 require 400 units and above the age of 70, need atleast 600 units. Now if you have a cup of Yoplait yogurt you get 10-20% of your required units in that 1 cup, now isn't that an easy way to down those units?

I am partial to a cup of strawberry flavored yogurt but if you have a palette that likes flavors with a little twist then you should try their blackberry pomegranate, orange creme, harvest peach, white chocolate raspberry or even their boysenberry flavors. (You have 24 flavors to choose from!) I personally have not tried these flavors because I still steer towards strawberry, strawberry and only strawberry!

So there you have it- a yummy, healthy cold treat filled with the calcium and vitamin D you need!


All set to win a 'Get Strong & Healthy' gift bag?'

2 winners will have a chance to win a 'Get Strong & Healthy' gift bag each. The gift bag includes:

• A coupon for free Yoplait yogurt (Unfortunately this coupon is not valid outside the United States or within these States-ID, LA, ND, NJ, NV and TN but you can enter the contest to win the other goodies!)
• A neat exercise mat (getting the right amounts of calcium and vitamin D is not enough. Pair the two with exercise and you will have the right solution for 'strong & healthy' bones!
• A Yoplait carry bag to hold your mat and
• An autographed copy of Nancy O'Dell's new book 'Full Of Life' (Mom-To-Mom 'wish I knew when pregnant' tips!)
  

I think Bunny girl loves the exercise mat more than me. I've had to hide it away because 3 days in a row she'd run to pull it out just before leaving for school and say in her 'big lady tone' " I'm sorry...you just have to do your exercises right now! I'm sorry."

Thanks to My Blog Spark we received this wealth of information, the healthy yogurt to sample and the gift bag for review.


Here's how you can win it:

1. Mandatory entry (without this, all other entries will be disqualified)-

Tell me how you incorporate calcium and vitamin D into your family's diet.
