7th Annual Power of Pink Challenge

Like most things this year, I’m a little late announcing my 7th Annual Power of Pink Challenge, but that’s what I’m here for today. Back in 2008, I wanted to find a way to help promote Breast Cancer Awareness during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I came up with the Power of Pink Challenge to as a way to encourage fellow bloggers, bakers, and readers to think about Breast Cancer Awareness by making something PINK in their kitchen.

As you all know, breast cancer is a disease that has touched my life in more ways that I would like to admit. I have made it a personal goal of mine to try to make a difference on this front.

I have been saving pink recipes as I see them come up throughout the year. To check out some inspiration here are the Power of Pink Favorites on Foodgawker or my Power of Pink Posts.

As I have in the past few years, I will be making a $100 donation to the charity of one winner’s choosing. I have included more options for entering this year since I am announcing the challenge so late in the month.

As always, you can enter by making something PINK and posting about it on your own blog during the month of October (be sure to post the logo and link back to this post). This year, anyone who makes something pink, you’ll get two entries for the prize.

You will get one entry if you find an old post on your blog that’s pink food, update the post with a link to this page, and send me the info listed below.

You can also get one entry for every social media share on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter that shares this post. Please tag me in your posts as well and use #PowerofPink.

Thanks in advance for everyone participating in the Power of Pink Challenge. I look forward to seeing all the entries come in over the next couple of weeks!

For each entry, send the following information to jen@beantownbaker.com

Your name
Name of your blog
Link to your post or social media share
Picture (or permission to pull one out of your post), if applicable

If you don’t have a blog and would like to participate, just send me your information to be entered.

Fabulous roundup–and so glad I could be part of it! Everything looks amazingly scrumptious and I can’t wait to try some of these recipes! (Maybe I missed something, but didn’t the event say make “anything” pink? Or did it have to be baked goods? I’m guessing there must be SOME other pink foods out there. . . ?!!). Well, more dessert for me!

Thanks for hosting this! 🙂

The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) program is dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of the early detection of breast cancer through a nationwide campaign. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Mammograms are the best method to detect breast cancer early when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms. Having regular mammograms can lower the risk of dying from breast cancer.
