The Pampered Chef (Addison, Illinois) is gearing up for its annual month long benefit to raise money for Breast Cancer Research. Each May, since 2000, The Pampered Chef holds it month long Help Whip Cancer fundraising event. The month long effort which lasts from May 1 to the 31st, encourages independent distributors to raise money by selling limited edition pink products.

The Pampered Chef feels that it is important to support and educate consumers about the benefits of early detection. Studies show that one in eight women has a chance of developing breast cancer in their lifetime. In the last decade, early detection and regular mammograms has helped the five year survival rate improve to 98 percent.

Funds raised by the Help Whip Cancer campaign go to early detection and education programs across the United States. Since the program began 8 years ago, the company has helped raise more than $6 million dollars

The Pampered Chef’s dedication to breast cancer awareness lasts throughout the year. In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the company will hold Help Whip cancer Fundraiser Cooking Shows. The Pampered Chef will also support Making Strides Against Breast Cancer by forming a National Corporate Team. Registration will begin in July.
