Polio once posed a terrifying threat to families. But in 1952, medicine triumphed over disease with a vaccine from Dr. Jonas Salk. Diphtheria, once common, can be beaten with a vaccine. Tuberculosis is preventable and curable.

Can you imagine telling your children or grandchildren about the end of breast cancer? It will be a story of steadfast courage, constant hope and unwavering determination, shared by many people around the world.

No one knows when that day will be, but Teleflora wants to do what we can to make it come as soon as possible.

Once again, Teleflora is teaming up with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF), a not-for-profit organization seeking to prevent and cure breast cancer in our lifetime.

“Teleflora welcomes the opportunity to join forces once again,” said Shawn Weidmann, president of Teleflora. “We are proud to help BCRF achieve that goal through the gift of flowers.”

BCRF works to provide funding for innovative research at medical centers worldwide and increase public awareness about good breast health. A minimum of 85 cents of each dollar donated to BCRF goes to breast cancer research grants and awareness programs.

As part of this partnership, Teleflora will feature five bouquets including: Teleflora’s Polka Dots and Posies, Pink Blush Bouquet, At First Blush, Teleflora’s Pinking of You and Teleflora’s Sweet Pinks Bouquet, all marked on teleflora.com with the signature BCRF pink ribbon. Prices range from $39.95 to $79.95.

Every time a consumer buys one of these floral arrangements, Teleflora will donate 15% of the purchase price to BCRF, with a commitment of raising a minimum of $250,000. The partnership will continue through August 31, 2009.

“We are thrilled that Teleflora shares our commitment to finding a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime,” said Robbie Finke Franklin of BCRF.

I dream of that day . . . when breast cancer is no longer the menace to women's health!  I love the colors of autumn but in October, I really love seeing PINK everywhere!
