Pink Ribbon Giveaway: A Fujifilm One Time Use Camera
June 5, 2008 by Karen Lynch
Filed under Women's Health
Yesterday’s review of the Polaroid i631 digital camera got me thinking about the benefits of disposable cameras … inexpensive, non-breakable, great for kids, disposable recyclable if returned to Fujifilm by your photofinisher … then I remembered, ‘hey, I have one of those … let me give it away’!
I have a QuickSnap 800 Flash One-Time-Use Camera — a pink-themed camera displaying the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s logo and mission and information related to the Images of Health campaign, 27 exposures, indoor/outdoor use — and I want a Pink Ribbon Reader to have it.
Here’s how to qualify for this contest:
- Check out Fuji Film’s Images of Health website.
- Pledge to get a mammogram.
- Leave a comment on this post indicating the name/location of the facility you will use to get your next mammogram. (If you don’t already know where to go, use the Fujifilm site to find a mammography facility near you).
Contest ends on Wednesday, June 11th, at midnight. I’ll post the winner the next day, randomly selected from all the commenters who followed the rules mentioned above!
Now, in case you can’t remember the guidelines for mammography:
- The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammography screening starting at age 40.
- The US Preventive Services Task Force and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists both recommend mammograms every 1 to 2 years for women 40 – 49 years of age.
- Women with a family history of the disease should talk to their OB/GYN about when they should start annual mammography — it might be as early as 25 or 30!
So if you’re young, do your research about when you should start, and assume you’ll be in the same general area when you require your first mammo, and let me know the when and where and you’ll be in the running. Good luck!

I am diligent about doing my self breast test each month. The more awareness the better!
Karen, I will be getting mine at Women’s Specialists of Plano. I am walking in the Race for the Cure tomorrow in Plano as well, and am fundraising for the Breast Cancer 3-Day in November. The camera would be perfect! Love your site! Check out my blog at our3day.com. We are having a giveaway for a pink iPod nano this month, and are always have “pink” giveaways! Have a great weekend.

I have made the pledge! I just got my 2nd annual mammogram last week on the 4th of June at South Shore Women’s Health Care in St. Joseph, MI. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago so I saw firsthand the good a mammogram can do. She was diagnosed very early, it was removed and she’s fine!

I need this something awful
I’m going on July 2nd for my annual mammo/sono. I’ve been going every year since I found a lump when I was 32. I had a biopsy (it turned out to be ok). They found some other lumps that need to be kept an eye on. It is something I faithfully do every year.
I pledge to get a mammogram in the next 30 days. I already have the paperwork for mine from my doctor. Now all I have to do is call & make an appointment. I will have it done at Mercy Hospital in Cedar Rapids, IA.
I recently had my mammogram done, and plan to repeat next year at New Paltz Imaging located at 207 Main Street, New Paltz, NY.
I just had one 2 months ago, but will be going back again in 10 months to Cambridge Medical Center.
Never had one done but plan to start this year. Getting close to the 40 mark.
