TV Tonight: Kath and Kim Take on Breast Cancer

BuzzSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 08:30:17 -0700

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and tonight, NBC's Kath and Kim is getting into the act. The mother-daughter team at the heart of the comedy has hooked up with Ford's Warriors in Pink campaign to help promote awareness of the disease in tonight's episode.

Anyone who tunes into the show tonight will have a chance to win a Ford Warriors in Pink Mustang (which will also be Kim's car for the duration of the season - huh, who knew she had a license?). There's also a funny little spot at the end of the show spotlighting breast cancer awareness in a way that only Kath and Kim can: by talking about how they need to pick a cause, what with being celebrities and all.

Last week's Kath and Kim premiere got a mixed reaction, but this sounds like as good a reason as any to give the show another try. If you didn't see the first episode, you can watch a quick recap of it if you read more.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month Spotlight On: Ford's Warriors in Pink Campaign

BuzzSugar — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 05:30:00 -0700

In honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'll be featuring people and products from pop culture that have to do with the disease - those who have beaten it, have been touched by it, or are working toward finding a cure.

Today, the spotlight is on Ford's Warriors in Pink campaign, which has successfully brought entertainers from all corners of pop culture into the fight against breast cancer. Last year, the campaign convinced the cast of Grey's Anatomy to wear its pink gear in an ad campaign, and the show also devoted a large part of one episode to a breast cancer story.

This year, the campaign recruited Kelly Clarkson to spread the word about the campaign through magazine ads and a video reminding all women to be mindful of their breast cancer risk. Warriors in Pink is also auctioning off mini Mustangs signed and decorated by entertainers including Clarkson, the casts of Grey's and Desperate Housewives, and Courteney Cox and David Arquette, among others. The campaign is also sponsoring a special all-pink Deal or No Deal this Friday night.

It doesn't hurt that the campaign's logo is pretty cool, to boot - here's a handy guide to what all the symbols mean. To watch Clarkson's Warriors in Pink ad and see a gallery of some of the mini Mustangs up for auction, just read more
