Ask.com Invites Consumers to Search for the Cure® in the Fight Against Breast Cancer Donate to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Simply by Using Ask.com

Ask.com®, a leading search engine and operating business of IAC (Nasdaq: IACI), today announced the launch of the Ask.com Search for the Cure® program and charitable commitment to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the world's largest and most progressive grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives and end breast cancer forever.

The Ask.com Search for the Cure program, available on the Ask.com homepage or at http://www.ask.com/cure, is a first-of-its-kind donation to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The initiative makes it easy, educational, and free for consumers to support the fight against breast cancer. Starting today, Ask.com is featuring new homepage themes, called skins, which are designed to educate consumers about breast cancer and inspire support for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The skins display a weekly series of questions that challenge consumers’ knowledge of breast health and breast cancer issues.

From September 13, 2009 through December 31, 2009, Ask.com will donate up to $100,000 in conjunction with consumers who participate in the Search for the Cure program by adopting the special homepage skin and answering breast health questions. Ask.com has pledged to invest at least $1 million by December 31, 2010 through this program and sponsorship of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® series.

“The Ask.com Search for the Cure program seeks to empower consumers in the fight against breast cancer through an interactive, educational experience that doesn’t cost them a dime or require much time,” said Scott Garell, President of Ask Networks. “Susan G. Komen for the Cure has saved millions of lives by funding breast cancer research and education programs globally, and we are honored to join forces with this extraordinary organization of activists and survivors.”

“Ask.com has created an easy, engaging, and cost-free way for consumers to get involved and generate funding that is crucial to breast cancer research and education. We are thrilled that Ask.com has joined our cause with such an innovative program,” said Hala Moddelmog, President and CEO of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

"Pink Boxers for Breast Cancer" Fundraiser

Three forces have joined together in the battle against breast cancer – Fulton Homes, 98.7 The Peak, and Sheriff Joe Arpaio, all uniting for a good cause. Throughout the month of October, Peak listeners are encouraged to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation by purchasing a pair of Sheriff Joe’s legendary pink boxers.
The Sheriff is notorious for making inmates wear pink underwear as a method to control inventory. Ironically, these boxers have created quite a demand among the public and Fulton Homes has channeled proceeds towards a good cause. Sheriff Joe will be signing this limited edition novelty item; date and location will be announced soon.

“This detrimental disease is unfortunately on the rise,” noted Douglas Fulton, CEO of Fulton Homes. “Fulton Homes is committed to standing behind the battle against breast cancer and supporting the search for a cure.”

Sheriff Joe Arpaio adds, “I am proud to support this wonderful organization and encourage people to take action by buying a pair of pink boxers.”

Proceeds from pink boxers customarily assist The Maricopa County Youth Assistance Foundation (YAF), a non-profit organization which supports programs that prevent youth violence and promotes social development, good role models, and positive interaction with law enforcement.

Breast cancer is on the rise: It is estimated that about 192,370 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in American women in 2009. According to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, in 1975 the incidence of breast cancer was 107 per 100,000 for white women and 94 per 100,000 for black women. Thirty years later in 2005, the number of new cases per year had risen to 126 per 100,000 for white women and 114 per 100,000 for black women. Purchasing a pink boxer assists in finding a cure for this deadly disease, as well as bringing awareness to breast cancer prevention.
