Have you seen KitchenAid's wonderful line of pink kitchen appliances and gadgets?
Yes, KitchenAid has the coolest line of pink Cook for the Cure kitchen appliances and gadgets in support of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. You too can show your support for this wonderful charity and also be in the pink, stylizing your kitchen with the trendiest items. I've found some complimentary appliances and gadgets that you surely can use.
P.S. This is the second lens that I've created as a Squidoo Activist to show my support for charities AND to encourage other lensmasters to join me in showing their support. Is there a favorite charity that you support? Why not consider creating your next lens to benefit that charity? Or, think about 'swapping' the settings on that existing lens to benefit a favorite charity. Thanks for reading this special lens that benefits Cancer Research, a charity that is near and dear to my heart.

More about KitchenAid
KitchenAid is a home appliance brand owned by Whirlpool Corporation. The company was started in 1919 by The Hobart Corporation to give restaurants a countertop alternative to their industrial sized mixers. The first model weighed 69 lbs. Each unit is still assembled by hand in Greenville, Ohio. The mixer is one of the only consumer appliances trademarked specifically for its unique shape. The company was acquired by Whirlpool Corporation in 1986.
KitchenAid also has a line of branded cookware, but this is actually produced by Meyer Corporation.

Komen Breast Cancer Foundation through its pink stand mixer, and select major appliance and small-appliance promotions. Quite frankly, that is pretty amazing!
