	<description>I almost lost my mom to cancer.    She battled and survived.  That experience inspired me to write a children&#039;s book, be a better man and encourage all to show their mothers how much they love them before it is too late.  The Mothers Month® Movement aims to encourage the entire world to celebrate mothers on a grand scale.</description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote style="font-size: 17px; line-height: 23px; margin-top: 0px;"><p>Simply the easiest way to make a tribute to mothers this November. Honor your mom, grandmother, wife, baby&#8217;s momma, or just a great mother you know. </p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: right;">– Ced Funches, Founder &#038; Author</p>
<p><span id="more-2464"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;The goal is simple. Encourage the world to honor and celebrate their mothers for 30 days and give them an easy platform to do it. You can simply go to our site and make an instant tribute to your mom.&#8221; said Ced Funches. &#8220;We take our mothers for granted and sometimes forget to let them know how much they mean to us. A sincere &#8216;thank-you&#8217; or &#8216;I love you&#8217; can have huge impact on mothers who go some days without hearing either one.&#8221;</p>
<p>Followers are also encouraged to call, visit, and email their mothers. With the focus not on spending money, but spending time with their mothers and expressing just how much they love and appreciate them. </p>
<p>You can celebrate Mothers Month® in three easy ways via the tribute site:</p>
<p>Make a tribute on Facebook.<br />
Create a tribute video on YouTube. Title it: Mother Month -&#8221;YOUR TITLE&#8221;<br />
Make a tribute to your mom via Twitter. Insert #mothersmonth.<br />
These options are made into easy one-click steps on the Mothers Month® tribute site found at <a href="http://mothersmonth.com/tribute" target="_blank">http://mothersmonth.com/tribute</a></p>

<p style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 19px; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 7px;">We are excited to announce that we have teamed with the awesome charity, <span style="color: #1e262b;">Cancer for College</span> and their biggest supporter, Will Ferrell!</p>
<p><span id="more-2310"></span><br />
We are honored to partner with Cancer for College and support it&#8217;s goals for the 2011-12 giving season. &#8220;My mother is a cancer survivor and CFC is a wonderful tribute to kids who have overcome so much, and want to continue to beat cancer by attending college.&#8221; said Mothers Month® Founder Ced Funches. &#8220;We will be raising funds and partnering on some amazing viral awareness campaigns to make people more aware of cancer and the need to appreciate our mothers before it&#8217;s too late.&#8221;</p>
<p>“We are so fortunate to have such a loyal supporter and friend as Will Ferrell,” said Cancer for College Founder Craig Pollard of his friend and former fraternity brother at the University of Southern California. “People can be charitable with their time or their money, and Will is extremely generous to our cause with both. I think it’s a testament to these amazing kids who have survived cancer and just want to return to some sort of normalcy in their life. Thanks to Will we are going to be able to help a lot of survivors through this promotion.”</p>
<p>The 18th Annual Will Powered Golf Classic will be played at the Pechanga Resort and Casino. The winner will receive a foursome in the golf tournament, airfare to California, two nights accommodations at the Pechanga Resort and Casino plus four premier tickets to the Kinda Humorous Comedy Show which features Will Ferrell and a number of his funniest friends for a night of stand-up comedy, sketches and musical performances. A winner will be selected from all the entrants on July 15, 2011.</p>
<p>The inaugural Will Powered Invitational will take a select group of 24 golfers to the Pebble Beach Golf Resort for a special weekend of fun that includes airfare, accommodations at the Inn at Spanish Bay, golf at the Links at Spanish Bay and the world famous Pebble Beach Golf Links. There will also be assorted group meals and cocktail parties to make it a thoroughly memorable experience with the beloved funnyman. A winner for the grand prize trip to Pebble Beach will be selected on September 1, 2011.</p>
<p>Both prize packages come courtesy of Golf Magazine.</p>
