Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women, and 1 in 8 will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. These are alarming statistics, however there is hope.
If breast cancer is detected early, in the localized stage, the 5-year survival rate is 98.6%. That is why it is important to do our part and support the National Breast Cancer Foundation and you can do that with Mimi’s Power of Pink Campaign.
Throughout the month of October, across the nation, guests can donate $1 and receive a leaf to inscribe and hang on the “Giving Tree” display. With a $5 donation, guests also receive a limited-edition pink ribbon lapel pin. All proceeds will be donated to National Breast Cancer Foundation. As a token of thanks, Mimi’s is providing up to $30 in coupon savings for those making in-restaurant donations. Guests can also support Mimi’s Power of Pink online with eGift card donations and donations on the digital “Giving Tree.”
The kiddos and I donated at our local Mimi’s Cafe and Mimi’s is encouraging all of us to get out and donate to this great cause.

Breast Cancer Awareness Should Be Everyday! <3
Blessings To All.
Cancer has affected my life in many ways. I have close family and friends who have it and are living, and who have lost their lives to the disease. I think the biggest impact cancer has left on me is the idea that you need to live each day to its fullest extent!!!!!
Wow! So very generous! We would be so blessed to be chosen for these gift cards. Thank you for considering!!!:)
I’ve lost my grandma to cancer many years ago!! My boyfriends 3 year old nephew was just diagnosed and I’m praying for his family!!
My neighbor had breast cancer she is only in her early 40’s, and so does my aunt. My great aunt died of breast caner a few years ago. I’ve had other family members die from other forms of cancer in my life.
YUMMM!!! Love Mimis!
My sister in law is 36 and undergoing chemo right now for breast cancer. Praying for all women affected by this cancer and praying for a soon to be cure!
My sister is a 5-year breast cancer survivor! She’s gone through many trials but is a stronger and more lively person today.
My family has been lucky and has not been affect by breast cancer but my heart does go out to all those that have been. So glad so many businesses and people take part in Breast Cancer Awareness.
Love Mimis!! Thanks!!
My mom is a Breast Cancer and Leukemia Survivor!
Cancer awareness should be everyday. It affects many and hopefully one day a cure is found. 🙂
I LOVE Mimi’s but have not been since having kids as it adds up. I personally don’t know anyone with breast cancer but I do believe spreading awareness is extremely important.
Unfortunately, I have friends who have had cancer. Some are still fighting, some are survivors and some have passed on. Cancer is so very ugly!
I hope for a cure during my children’s lifetime–cancer took their grandfather and many of my friends’ parents. So incredibly sad. And so wonderful of Mimi’s to host this fundraiser.
I am a thyroid cancer survivor and although I have not experienced the pain those with breast cancer go through I can empathize. Hoping a cure is found soon!
My mother-in-law is a breast cancer survivor, so this is close to my heart. In addition several of our relatives have passed away to different types of cancer. I think I’ll be visiting Mimi’s — it’s close to our house — and checking out their cancer donation fundraiser.
Way to go Mimi’s!
My Grandma and husband’s aunt have both passes away due to breast cancer.
My grandmother passed away from pancreatic cancer.
My grandmother has been hit by cancer 5 different times and has survived them all. Take that cancer!
Thanks Mimi’s cafe for support such a meaningful fundraiser!
My grandmother had cancer in her forties. A wonderful boss I had died suddenly in 2004 from cancer, My Grandfather as well as my father-in-law and brother -law, and countless family friends have had to fight a battle to beat cancer.
Cancer has definitely affected my life. I once had my own cancer scare that had me in and out of hospitals for months.
I don’t think I know of anyone untouched by cancer. It totally sucks!!
Cancer sucks! Love Mimi’s! Enough said 🙂
My 92 year old grandma is a survivor of colon cancer and my great aunt was able to survive pancreatic cancer – both amazing ladies. Love them both!
My favorite teacher died from cancer.
Awesome Mimi’s Cafe!
Great way to Celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness!
My mother was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer when I was a child. She was a single parent and I was faced with the very real possibility of being an orphan at the age of 10. However, cancer was no match for my mom – she pulled through the surgery and beat the cancer with no chemo – and 20 years later is thriving!
My daddy died of bone cancer. My nephew died of a sarcoma cancer. I lost several aunts and uncles from various forms of cancer.
My mother in law died at 43 to bladder cancer.

Cancer is ugly. It affects so many lives. I lost my papa to prostate cancer, a dear friend to breast cancer, and have family battling it as we speak. Love that there are wonderful places like Mimi’s helping spread awareness. Hopeful that one day, we will find a cure. <3
I’ve had several family members and friends battle several types of cancer. It really shows me how strong people are in my life.
Cancer has touched my life in numerous ways. I have lost a grandmother and grandfather to this horrible disease but also both my father (colon cancer) and mother (non-hodgkin’s lymphoma) have survived cancer. Praise God!
My boss had cancer and our company now actively supports local breast cancer charities.

My Godmother beat breast cancer.
My aunt has cancer and was told she has between a week and month to live. It is affecting everyone in my family and all of the wonderful people in her community.
One of my aunts died of breast cancer at 38 years old. Another one of my aunts is now 38 and is undergoing breast cancer treatment with radiation and chemotherapy.
My grandmother and mother are cancer survivors. My father passed away from cancer. I have 2 friends who are breast cancer survivors. My cousin passed away from cancer. The list could go on. Cancer sucks.
I am a big breast cancer supporter and walked the 3-day in San Diego last year. It was an incredible experience. It is amazing how much I learned about breast cancer awareness and treatment on my 3-day journey! I love that you are promoting this important message! “Save the ta-ta’s!”
I first learned about cancer in 5th grade when inevitable my close friends was diagnosed with cancer lukemia sadly she passed away after a long battle with cancer in 10th grade. Then 3 years ago my Nana was diagnosed with breast cancer and is still fighting it to this day.
My grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. she has made a full recovery but it was pretty scary for a while.
This is a great cause, I’m glad Mimi’s is doing their part to raise breast cancer awareness. I may have to go eat there now.
Great cause and great food!!!
Great Cause and great restaurant!
