Cook For The Cure

KitchenAid also created a pink, Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation model to help support breast cancer research.

The pink model is identical to the standard artisan mixer, but $50 of each purchase will go to the Komen Foundation.

KitchenAid went several steps further by offering other products in the name of the Komen Foundation, also contributing proceeds from those products to charity.
