Wear Your Pearl of Wisdom

Dear CLUW e-Activist:

As part of CLUW's partnership with the Pearl of Wisdom Campaign to Prevent Cervical Cancer, we are pleased to share with you a fun initiative, launching in September during Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, to help raise awareness about cervical cancer prevention.

We are asking women to both wear their pearls to show support during September and submit a photo to the Pearl of Wisdom Campaign of themselves wearing their pearl (photos can be fun or serious). The Campaign will post each one in the campaign website's photo gallery and feature a selection on the campaign's homepage. Everyone who submits a photo will be eligible to win a fabulous prize when the promotion ends October 31:

Grand Prize: 1 winner will receive a handcrafted, multi-chain necklace with a pearl, created by Calico Juno Designs.
Second Prize: 2 winners will receive celebrity makeup artist Debra Macki's new Purple Eye Shadow Palette, an ultra-chic formula designed exclusively for Pearl of Wisdom campaign partner, The Yellow Umbrella.
Third Prize: 3 winners will receive a signed copy of ABC News Medical Correspondent Dr. Marie Savard's new book, "Ask Dr. Marie: Straight Talk and Reassuring Answers to Your Most Private Questions."

If you don't have a Pearl of Wisdom already, what are you waiting for? Purchase one at www.PearlofWisdom.us. All proceeds go to the U.S. Pearl of Wisdom Campaign Fund to support cervical cancer prevention activities. And, when you wear your pearl, don't forget to tell the women in your life that cervical cancer is preventable -- using the Pap test, the HPV test and the HPV vaccine!

For more information, visit www.PearlofWisdom.us. Thank you in advance for your support.

P.S. If your CLUW chapter has a website and/or if your union has a website, please ask the webmaster to link to the Pearl of Wisdom Campaign www.PearlofWisdom.us so that members know about this initiative and can win prizes.
