Current Goal

To travel to many caches raising money and awareness for breast cancer - my owner donates $1 to breast cancer research for every new person who places me in a new cache!  *IMPORTANT* You have to leave me in a new cache for me to generate more donations, not just take me along with you to a lot of caches!  I want to meet new people!  Thanks!

About This Item

Breast Cancer Fundraising Geocoin

Apparently this one has gone missing.  [:(]

I've participated in the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk for 5 years now, both as a walker (walking all 60 miles each time!) and as a volunteer. Each year, I come up with new ways to generate donations. Using Geocoins as a way to spread the word and generate more seemed like a simple thing to do.

Breast cancer is in my family and among my friends. I've lost people to it. I have two small nieces and I want them to grow up free from having to worry about it. Please help me!

The Breast Cancer 3-Day benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure. While I am taking a break from walking, I do plan to keep donating. This coin is one way that I will generate self contributions. Every time a new cacher puts this coin in a new cache, I'll donate another $1. Keep the coin moving!  

I have a set of 20 coins that have been moving for 2 years now.  Some have gone missing, but some have traveled the world.  Not only do I make donations when they move, but some of the cachers who have moved it along have made their own donations as well!  I know this coin is touching lives and I've appreciated all of the touching stories that people have shared with me when they encounter it.  Please move it along - it has to change hands as well as visit new caches!

If you want to buy a coin of your own just like this, look here.

Thank you!

UPDATE: As of 3/21/2012, these geocoins have generated $288 in donations to Breast Cancer research. Many, many thanks!

Thanks for all the movement folks! Thanks to your efforts these coins have lead me to donate $238 to breast cancer and many of you have made donations as well! Keep the coin moving. Each new cacher that moves it along earns it another donation. Thank you!

The Boston Breast Cancer 3-Day was this weekend and I spent the mornings handing out candy and cold drinks to 1500 walkers. They walked 60 miles, I hope each of these coins goes much farther! The coins have raised $143 to far, keep them moving!

I love to watch these Breast Cancer coins move! Thanks for all of the movement and all of the kind notes. We're up to $95 for breast cancer research and the warm-weather caching season is just getting underway. Thank you!
