A Letter from Sonia Kashuk
Dear Friends,
It’s that time of year again – October – where we focus on Breast Cancer awareness. The fight continues. We need to join forces to stay focused on finding cures and answers to this deadly disease. My personal fight will never end. As a breast cancer survivor and the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, I hope to continue educating and touching as many women as possible with the proper information so they can make the right choices for themselves. I, unfortunately, lost my grandmother at age 51 in her fight against breast cancer. My family has been touched many times by this devastating disease. I stay strong and focused, helping to do whatever I can to aid in the fight again breast cancer. I also think of many of my closet friends who have been affected by this disease. The more money we can raise, the more effective we can be in giving the researchers the financial support they so desperately need. Each and every one of us can make a difference.
Target and I have once again partnered to launch four different products in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Last year, with your help we were able to make a very generous donation to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®. I am once again asking all of you to support me, to be my voice and help spread my message so that we can generously give back to a cause that is near and dear to my heart. I cannot begin to thank you all enough for everything that you continually do for me.
Sincerely,
