20 Perfectly Pink Ways to Support Breast Cancer Research
Have you been thinking pink this month? October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and to help support raising money for research and treatment, several of our favorite companies have come out with perfectly pink products. A portion of each sale of these items will be donated to various breast cancer charities. We found 20 products we’d want to own even if they weren’t supporting the cause. The fact that buying any of these products helps get us closer to a cure is just icing on the cake.
1. Eberjay Gisele PJs ($122): These cozy PJs are hard to resist, and the fact that 25 percent of sales from them (and the rest of the “Today I Choose Joy” collection) will be donated to the Young Survival Coalition makes them even better.
2. Pink with a Purpose Almost Lipstick ($15): A nod to the traditional Clinique color, this Pink Ribbon Honey hue works with almost every skin type, and $3 of each purchase will go to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
3. Tantsu Apron ($47): This iconic pattern is re-imagined in pink and green to support breast cancer research. Marimekko will donate proceeds from this apron up to $10,000 for the year to the BCRF.
4. Block Letter BCA Keyfob ($48): If logos are your thing, opt for this key fob, which donates 20 percent of the purchase price to the BCRF.
5. Mini Umbrella ($48): You have to have an umbrella, so you might as well do some good when you buy one. The pink version of this purse-size umbrella donates 20 percent of the purchase price to the BCRF.
