Shopping that Benefits Breast Cancer Research Means Feeling Good While Indulging in Anything & Everything Pink

sassy pink camo sends just the right don't-mess-with-me message

Breast Cancer awareness month has become synonymous with pretty-in-pink products, so while it's still October, why not stock up on stuff for a good cause - a bathrobe, collapsible SPF umbrella, bright pink digital camera or personal air cleaner - knowing that you've done a good deed.

And for no money, The Breast Cancer Site makes it easy to donate mammograms to women who can't otherwise afford them, just by remembering to click a pink button on their site each day: ...really, it's that easy.

Here are some other fun products from sites dedicated to Breast Cancer awareness & research funding:

The Breast Cancer Site Store

   The Breast Cancer Site is a partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). Founded by 26-year breast cancer survivor Janelle Hail, NBCF has enabled tens of thousands of working poor, homeless, and uninsured women receive free mammograms - one of the best methods of catching the disease before it's too late (if caught early enough, the five-year survival rate is 96%). The Breast Cancer Site Store has a fun variety of items including clothing, home & garden, gifts, keychains, jewelry & other pink fabulousness:

 

Pink Ribbon striped cotton robe
Swarovski crystal pin (2"H x 1"W; 5.1 cm x 2.5 cm)
pink camo nylon duffle (very top)

The Pink Ribbon Shop

  Started by a mother of three who was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 32, a portion of the proceeds from every item is donated to breast cancer organizations. "Breast Cancer has touched the lives of so many - it seems that everyone knows someone with breast cancer," explains Kim, who plans to keep expanding the variety of products on the site.  "By wearing PinkRibbonShop.com merchandise, you are helping to spread the word and increase awareness about breast cancer."

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRFCure.org)

   "Research advances are saving lives, and BCRF takes pride in the continued upward curve in the dollars we pour into the best research..[however] more than 40,000 women in the US alone will die this year as a result of breast cancer," notes Evelyn Lauder of the Estee Lauder beauty empire & founder of BCRF. "We must still work together if we are to make a dent in this number, a number still much too large." In addition to scheduling your mammograms, pick up a special something that donates its proceeds to BCRF - where a minimum of 85 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to research grants & awareness programs:

Blueair AirPod personal air cleaner
Teleflora Autumn Gemstones bouquet
