Help Whip Cancer!


"Cancer affects the lives of families every day. Breast cancer, in particular, affects grandmothers, mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and friends. One in eight women has a chance of developing invasive breast cancer in their lifetime. But thanks to early detection through regular mammograms and effective treatment, the five year survival rate has improved to 98 percent.

At The Pampered Chef®, we feel it is crucial to educate and promote the importance of breast cancer early detection. To support this effort, between May 1 and 31, independent Pampered Chef® Consultants raise funds from the sale of pink limited-edition products and Help Whip Cancer® Fundraiser Cooking Shows.

Funds raised by the Help Whip Cancer® campaign are distributed to breast cancer education and early detection programs across the country.

Since the campaign's beginning in 2000, Consultants and customers have raised more than $6.5 million to Help Whip Cancer®!

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Consultants can hold Help Whip Cancer® Fundraiser Cooking Shows. To increase our support of the American Cancer Society®, The Pampered Chef® will also support Making Strides Against Breast Cancer® by forming a National Corporate Team. We hope you will join our team."
