If you didn't already know, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Like many others, this disease runs in my family, so I am diligent in not only monitoring my own health, but doing what I can to support and spread the word about opportunities in finding a cure for breast cancer.
Last night we went to Palisade in Seattle's Elliott Bay Marina to have a cocktail. And on the table we discovered a card announcing "Cause-Mo For the Cure." In 2004, restaurant managers of Restaurants Unlimited (a company consisting of 58 award-winning restaurants) cooked up the brilliant idea to donate $1 to the Susan G. Komen foundation for every Cosmopolitan cocktail it serves. The "Cosmo" just so happens to be one of my favorite frou-frou drinks so I jumped on the wagon and ordered myself a lavender cosmopolitan (yum!), complete with a pink rubber wrist band.

Um, I hope the cause-mos are alcohol-free.
Alcohol consumption by women is linked to breast cancer. Check wikipedia for references.
