In an effort to help others, DealTaker has decided to support the Fight against Breast Cancer.
We will donate to help the fight against breast cancer, or promote breast cancer awareness, approximately every quarter. To kick-start this campaign, we have decided to go all the way back to our foundation date of Feb 1, 2004, and make a big donation.
So remember as you continue to support DealTaker, you are also helping to support the fight against breast cancer, and promote breast cancer awareness

<P>October&nbsp;22,&nbsp;2004</P>
<P>Mr. Neal Rapoport<BR>DealTaker.com<BR>Plano, TX <BR></P>
<P>Dear Mr. Rapoport,<BR><BR>I would like to thank you for your contribution to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Your support helps the Komen Foundation in its mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening and treatment. </P>
<P>Since its inception in 1982, the Komen Foundation has made great strides in the fight against breast cancer, funding groundbreaking breast cancer research, much of which has led to landmark discoveries in the quest to find a cure for and eventually prevent breast cancer. In addition to funding research, the Foundation works to increase breast cancer awareness and promote early detection through events like the Komen Race for the Cure. Series. Proceeds from such events help fund community-based breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment projects for the medically underserved. </P>
<P>Again, thank you for your assistance and your confidence in our efforts. The success of the Komen Foundation is made possible through the very generous contributions of corporations, organizations and individuals like yourself. Because of you, we are one step closer to finding a cure. </P>
<P> Once again, thank you for your support. </P>
<P> Sincerely, </P>

FYI, we're hopefully going to be sponsors of the North Texas Race for the Cure on June 3, 2006, and the Dallas Race for the Cure on Oct 21, 2006.
If you want to help DealTaker hand out some stuff at either of these events, we'll likely be soliciting for volunteers around a month before each race.
Thanks everyone for helping make this possible!
Neal.

Thanks to all the volunteers that helped out at our booth at the North Texas Race for the Cure!









We'll be participating in the Dallas Race for the Cure in October too, and hopefully some others across the country!
