October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s an international wellness campaign to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research and treatment. There are lots of ways you can take part in Breast Cancer Awareness Month by giving gifts that support this cause. Here are a few ideas for giving pink.
Estee Lauder
Your pink purchase at Estee Lauder will help them donate $500,000 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Pick up a jeweled pink ribbon pin for just $12.50 and show your support.
M&Ms
M&Ms has created special packages of pink candy to support Susan G Koman for the Cure. M&Ms will donate at least $1 million to the cause. Purchase your pink treats at a variety of retailers through November.
Better Homes and Garden
The red plaid has been traded in for pink plaid– at least for the Limited Edition Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book. Meredith Books will make a minimum donation of $250,000 to the Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer Foundation. Pick up a copy for $29.95.
Wilson
Sporting goods company Wilson has created an entire line of Hope products. When you purchase a Hope product, a percentage of your purchase goes towards breast cancer research. There are tennis balls, golf gloves and badminton racquets to choose from.
Saks Fifth Avenue
Pick up a Karl Lagerfield-designed t-shirt for $40 at Saks Fifth Avenue. Over $35 of that money will be given to the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund. It’s long-sleeved, machine washable and making a difference.
