Click the Pink
Ribbon On The Cigna Website and Money Will Be Donated for The Fight
Against Breast Cancer-Truth!
But Now Ended!
Summary of the eRumor A short email says to go
to the website of the Cigna Foundation and click the pink ribbon and Cigna will donate $1 to battle breast
cancer. The message says it's during the month of October
only.
The Truth
This was true, but the campaign was
in 2001.
Cigna consists of several companies that offer group insurance and
financial services. Their Cigna Foundation donated $1 per
click during October of 2001 to support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation.
Many companies donate to charity in response to visits to web
sites. It's partly a way for them to participate in worthy
causes and partly a way for them to attract fresh visitors to their
sites.
