Total KNF Gifting: Over $126,400 USD Value
This is the total retail value of Breast Chek Kits gifted directly to the Know Now Foundation in the final quarter of 2007. 100% of BCKs gifted to KNF (including the 50% Matching Gifts) are given to caring KNF recipient organizations that will in turn give them to women-at-risk who will benefit either through early detection or peace of mind.*
An Urgent Mission and Message
Approximately 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. There’s nothing we can do about that. However, the survival rate for breast cancers detected at or before stage 1 is virtually 100% — and that we CAN do something about! Over the years billions of dollars have gone into research for a cure and for effective methods of prevention. While treatment options continually improve, as of yet, there’s no cure in sight and many thousands of people still die every year of this terrible disease. Had their cancers been detected early enough, virtually every life could have been saved – and this is what makes the KNF mission so urgent! Working together we can bring an end to this global tragedy through early detection with tools and techniques we have TODAY! In addition to mammograms and clinical exams, the KNF mission to save lives through early detection and to get a Breast Chek Kit into the hands of every woman in the world is essential to the success of this urgent initiative. We are saving lives now and by continuing to work together in purpose and harmony we can perhaps someday save ALL lives threatened by breast cancer. Nobody has to die of breast cancer any more, and in getting that message out we need all of the help we can get…including yours…we invite you to join us in this noble mission!
“Pay it Forward” With Passion & Purpose!
Since originally introduced in the book, “Pay It Forward”, by Catherine Ryan Hyde, and the movie of the same name starring Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt, the “PIF” concept has exploded into an international movement that has touched and changed lives around the globe! This wonderfully simple concept is based on the premise of giving without expectation of being paid back, but rather with a promise from the receiver to “Pay It Forward”! This kind and sharing process of one person selflessly gifting others who in turn “pass it on” by doing the same has the amazing capacity to swiftly touch the hearts of many! As the loving ripple of kindness and sharing reaches and embraces an ever-widening expanse of likeminded people, the heartfelt impact exponentially increases.
The “Pay It Forward” principle has been enthusiastically practiced and received by an abundance of social entrepreneurs, socially responsible companies such as “Starbucks”, faith based organizations around the world, schools, and even banks who have given bank funds designated for charity to employees so that they may purposefully gift these funds to those in need!
As reported by CNN: State Bank & Trust Chief Operating Officer Michael Solberg said each full-time employee will receive $1,000 and each part-time employee will receive $500, as part of a $502,000 “Pay it Forward” initiative.”
The Know Now Foundation initiative is founded on paying it forward with the ultimate gifts…the gift of life through early detection, and the gift of peace of mind from knowing all is well. Of course, these wonderful gifts come in the form of a Breast Chek Kit…a gift that’s needed by every woman in the world age 20 and above. How many people do you know who would treasure such a gift and joyously pay it forward?
“I’ve given away cars and houses and my favorite things, and I can honestly say that every gift I’ve ever given has brought at least as much happiness to me as it has to the person I’ve given it to. And that’s the feeling I want to pass on to you.” Oprah Winfrey
*The “Total KNF Gifting” figure refers only to BCKs gifted directly to KNF and DOES NOT include BCKs sold for resale, fundraising, or, shipped for personal gifting purposes, Kindness & Giving Circles, etc. So, the total number of BCKs serving the mission is far greater than reflected by the KNF gifting total.
