I heard about this Monday, however I thought I’d wait til Women’s Empowerment Wednesdays to post it :) (self explanatory).
Nicki Minaj , who has penned her debut album PINK FRIDAY , initially wanted to release it on Black Friday, 11-26-10 (the extreme retail sales day after Thanksgiving that marks the start of the holiday shopping season). However, her album release date was pushed up to that Monday, 11-22-10, for reason’s I’m unsure of.
CompUSA and TigerDirect have joined forces to turn this shopping frenzy into a charitable extravaganza for its fourth consecutive year. From electronics/technology on online sales portions and customer donations, consumers are expected to raise more than $100,000 for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure ® , the world’s largest Breast Cancer organization.
"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," said Minaj. "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."

"As we enter into our fourth Pink Friday, we are reminded that giving back is what the holiday season is all about," said Gilbert Fiorentino, Chief Executive of Systemax Technology Product Group, including CompUSA and TigerDirect. "Along with our customers, we will make a tremendous impact on Komen for the Cure's promise to end breast cancer." (Business Wire, Miami, 11-15-10)
There will be a 12 hour webcast featuring an interview from Nicki (via Skype) along with her video “Your Love”, as well as, breast cancer survivor interviews, and informational videos etc.

News like this warms my heart. Glad Nicki is doing something for a good cause. (spice girls voice)...#GIRLPOWER!!
