Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the breast cancer awareness organization responsible for the all-pink-everything “Passionately Pink for the Cure” campaign, might have found their newest spokesperson in Nicki Minaj.

“I fully support the efforts of Pink Friday and the goal of raising funds to support Susan G. Komen for the Cure and their charge to bring an end to breast cancer,” Minaj said in an official statement. “I am pleased to be associated with the Pink Friday initiatives and to raise awareness amongst fellow African American women who are often the hardest hit by breast cancer.”
Meanwhile, the ladies (and gentlemen!) of Komen's Orange County branch are continuing their support of raising cash for the cure locally next month. They're awarding grants to local nonprofit organizations at their Awards Breakfast on Dec. 3 and presenting their third annual knit-a-thon, Knit One, Cure Too on Dec. 4.
