I had a call from Chick-fil-A this morning! They have sent the request
over to marketing. The caller noted, with surprise, that CFA had
received 12 e-mails this morning promising support.
Please! Take a moment TODAY to email Chik-fil-A and send a *brief* note
sayingthat you will help defray the cost of the Chick-fil-A "Cows
Udderly Agree" campaign by taking your family of (#) to eat a meal at
CFA during
World Breastfeeding Week; also, (if you can do so) that you will order
at least one T-shirt; and that you appreciate CFA's willingness to get
involved in educating future mothers, and others, about this important
health care issue.
To re-cap the campaign, I have asked CFA to draw up an ad with a couple
of cows, possibly nursing their calves, with the ad reading "Cows
Udderly Agree: Human Milk is Best for Babies. World Breastfeeding
Week, August 1 - 7". This would be printed on the paper tray cover and
on the T-shirt. Also, I sent CFA a list of benefits of breastfeeding
to
mom, the baby, and the financial resources of our government and health
care system -- to all families in general-- and asked that CFA print
the list on the side of the ad, or the back of the paper tray.
Perhaps breastfeeding advocates at various locales can organize a
certain day during WBW to meet and eat at CFA, alert the media, and
promote the cause.
I saw my doctor this morning and he excitedly said he would put the word
out in his realm of influence. If we *all* did this, CFA can hardly say
"no"! Right now, we definitely have their attention. Let's get their
committment!
Please e-mail (remember, keep it short!) them at:
http://www.chick-fil-a.com/content/feedback/feedback/.htm
Of course, if you commit to any of the above methods of support, please
follow through! Who knows where this could lead next year? Maybe a
breastfeeding ad on their paper sacks?! :) It is time to educate the
nation just how important breastmilk is for our children.
I have no doubt that a great deal of local (and possibly greater) media
coverage can ensue from this project. WE CAN DO IT!
I give my permission for this post to be printed, faxed, forwarded
electronically, read, quoted, etc. for the purpose described above.
Let's get going!
Thanks, ALL, for your help!
Sandy
