World’s Largest eRibbon 2005!
According to City of Hope, Breast cancer is one of the
most serious public health threats affecting women in the United States
today. Currently, there are some 2.6 million women with breast cancer in
this country, and the numbers are growing.
3M is committed to generating awareness about breast cancer each
year, and in 2005, the objective was to spread awareness via the
Internet. 3M set out to create the World’s Largest Pink eRibbon,
comprised of thousands of virtual notes from visitors from all over
the world. To help generate funds toward this important cause, 3M
donated $0.50 to City of Hope Cancer Center for each note posted
on the eRibbon, up to a total donation of $100,000. By the end of
October, our goal was exceeded – with more than 200,000 individual
notes posted on the eRibbon!
3M

hopes you will continue to show your support each year. You can

products will be donated to the City of Hope.
