Ellen Degeneres Signed Window Mobile Phone

During October-Breast Cancer Awareness Month-Windows Mobile has been
supporting Komen for the Cure(r) and Ellen for the Cure on The Ellen
DeGeneres Show. Numerous celebrities, including Jenny McCarthy, Colin
Farrell, Audrina Patridge, Mario Lopez, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Senator Joe
Biden and Sheryl Crowe, have stepped up to the Windows Mobile Dunk Tank
to “sink for pink”. Every time someone is dunked, Microsoft is donating
$10,000 to the cause – amounting to more than $250,000 to date.

Now we too can help! They will be auctioning off 8 of the same
Windows Mobile smartphones that many of the celebrities received after
they were dunked on the show – pink Samsung BlackJack IIs – signed by
Ellen DeGeneres to benefit Komen for the Cure(r) and Ellen for the Cure.
In addition, readers can go to www.windowsmobile.com/ellen where every
visit to the page will garner an additional donation.

Check out YouTube for videos of the celebrities dunked to date.

Let’s continue to support this extremely important cause!

Designer to donate $3.00 per sale to fund research

These 4×4 ceramic tile coasters feature a beautiful message and words for the breast cancer survivor. Each tile has been sealed to provide a shiny finish and help protect the tile from water damage. These can be used for decoration or as an actual coaster for your drinks! They have cork on the bottom corners to keep from scratching your tables. Clean using a damp cloth, not dishwasher safe.

I have to say, I have some ceramic tile coasters and they are the best coasters ever. The coaster soaks up the water/condensation and never leaves water on your table. I would highly recommend you have at least one set!
