The Pink Power Mom program is now accepting nominations for its 2012 contest to select eight deserving moms in local communities throughout the U.S. The program honors mothers who are breast cancer survivors and powerful role models in their community.

The Pink Power Mom program is part of the Kids II Foundation.

Pink Power Moms are inspirations to their families, friends and others battling breast cancer because of their resilient spirit and perseverance in the face of adversity. Every year, Kids II celebrates eight mothers who have battled breast cancer and dedicated themselves to helping others in the fight.

Friends and families are invited to nominate a mother who has been an inspiration throughout her battle with cancer. This year marks the first time the program will be open to self-nominations from those who believe they should be a Pink Power Mom.

Submissions are now open and will be accepted through Oct. 31, 2012. To nominate a mom or yourself, go to www.pinkpowermom.com.

Each of the eight women selected as a Pink Power Mom will receive $5,000 for the breast cancer charity of her choice as well as a weekend of pampering, education and luxurious gifts. Each mom will also receive a legacy donation of $1,000 each year for the next four years.
