There has never been a better time to support the Friends of Mel Foundation!

We have accepted an exciting challenge, and we need YOU to join the team!  With your donation, you have the power to double your impact on the lives of people fighting cancer!
 
Sponsored by the Lester and Sue Smith Foundation, only 30 finalists from breast cancer organizations around the country were selected to compete in the Pink Well Challenge for a chance to earn a portion of up to a $1 million in matching grants!

Friends of Mel FoundationOur goal is to raise $45,000 by May 15, 2012.  The Smith's foundation will generously match all donations we receive -  dollar for dollar.

Of the 30 finalists, the organization that raises the most money will be awarded another $50,000.  So every dollar you give has the potential to triple your impact in the fight against cancer!  $50 can become $150!  Please make a donation today to support our mission.

As a finalist, Friends of Mel was required to create a video that tells our story.  Our job is to get out the vote each day January 16 through May 15, 2012.  The organization that gets the most votes will win an additional $50,000 grant.  To help us win, simply visit www.pinkwell.org and cast your votes each day via FACEBOOK, TWITTER & EMAIL!
