LinkedIn® Groups raising Domestic Violence and Breast Cancer awareness

As I write this, there are 78 groups on LinkedIn® where like-minded professionals can gather to support each other and make a difference in the fight against Domestic Violence, and 152 groups dedicated to Breast Cancer awareness.  I am especially impressed with the caliber of the discussion boards and links to resources within these groups. I've listed just a few examples, there are MANY others and I'm sure you can find one which might be just right for you!  Reminder: To access/join any of these groups, you must have a LinkedIn Profile. To log in or create a profile, please visit the LinkedIn website.
