Make this Mother's Day extra sweet with a pie from McDonald's!

Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization's Rocky Mountain Affiliate announced today that McDonald's is donating a portion of their Mother's Day weekend pie sales to support "The Walk to Empower," Y-ME's annual breast cancer fund raising event.

"We are very excited to have McDonald's returning this year as a local sponsor of our event and we appreciate all of their support with the walk," said Executive Director Sheri Clark of the Y-ME Rocky Mountain Affiliate.

Local McDonald's restaurants expect to raise more than $10,000 for the Y-ME Rocky Mountain Affiliate to help ensure that no one in Colorado faces breast cancer alone. Y-ME and McDonald's are here today for those who can't wait for tomorrow's cure.

Y-ME Rocky Mountain Affiliate is hosting its third annual Walk to Empower at 9 a.m. this Sunday, May 11, in Denver's City Park.

Y-ME offers the only multilingual, 24-hour hotline staffed entirely by trained breast cancer survivors, who answer more than 41,000 calls per year. Y-ME Rocky Mountain Affiliate also offers support groups, breast health awareness workshops and out reach programs for anyone touched by breast cancer.
