The Power of the Pen Fights Cancer

You've heard it said "the pen is mightier than the sword," and now it can help cure cancer. That's the ambitious hope of Jen Mueller, anyway.

Jen Mueller, of Talk Sporty to Me, will donate 50% of the sales price from every set of Talk Sporty to Me Cards sold from January 1 through February 29, 2012 to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

The Root Sports reporter and Talk Sporty to Me Founder created a line of greeting cards to help her further relationships with coworkers, colleagues and athletes. Now she's using those cards to support innovative research at the Hutchinson Center. Jen will donate 50% of all sales of her line of Talk Sporty to Me Cards to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, from January 1 through February 29, 2012.

"Throughout the year Talk Sporty to Me offers financial support to different non-profits in the community through the sale of the greeting cards," said Talk Sporty to Me founder Jen Mueller. "We are proud to support Fred Hutchinson's work in cancer research. The work being done is ground breaking and truly inspiring."

"Cancer is an insidious disease that touches thousands of lives each year," said Jennifer Pawlosky, Director for Development Communications and Marketing at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. "Purchases of Talk Sporty to Me greeting cards help provide our scientists with critical funds to enable truly innovative research and save more lives. We are making strides every year in enhancing the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer, but much more is needed to eliminate this devastating disease."

As a sports reporter and Talk Sporty to Me CEO, Jen Mueller has been cultivating relationships with multi-million dollar athletes and co-workers with simple, handwritten "Thank You" notes. Adding a personal touch at the office helps cultivate relationships and benefits the bottom line. That is why she developed the Talk Sporty to Me Line of greeting cards. Sending a simple "thank you" card can help:

• Co-workers, clients and colleagues feel appreciated
• Group members feel part of the team and not overlooked
• Working relationships run smoother
• Keep in touch with your clients
• People who want to say "thank you" but feel intimidated with face-to-face conversations
•  Individuals make a positive difference in the workplace

Now a Talk Sporty to Me card will make a difference at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center where 50% of the purchase price of each set of cards will support innovative, lifesaving research.

Jen Mueller talks about Talk Sporty to Me: ( http://talksportytome.com/ )

In the fall of 2008, I was approached by a group of business women with a problem. By all accounts, these women were very successful. They were smart and well educated. These women have established solid careers, and had earned the respect of their co-workers and clients. But despite all their success, they felt they were missing out on valuable opportunities to expand their client base - at sporting events. The women were rarely invited to entertain clients at baseball games, or football games. Those same women often felt intimidated when conversations turned from business to sports. Their dilemma led to the creation of Talk Sporty to Me

Since its inception, Talk Sporty to Me has been featured on KING 5, KOMO 4, KMPS 94.1, and MOViN 92.5. Watch the video profile of Talk Sporty To Me by Kim Holcomb of KING 5's "Evening Magazine." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO78Ug5_fAE)
