Think Pink

One in eight women will get breast cancer during her lifetime. That's me, you, your mom, your sister, your aunt, your friend, your co-worker or your neighbor.

200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and 40,000 women die from breast cancer each year. On average, one woman dies from breast cancer every 13 minutes in the U.S.

In October 1993, Evelyn Lauder, founder of Estee Lauder, started the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and adopted the pink ribbon as the symbol for the cause. Since then, many companies around the world have joined in the effort by donating a portion of proceeds from pink merchandise to raise money for research related to the prevention, early detection and cure of breast cancer.

There's nothing like shopping for a cause! So, I've gathered a few of my favorite pink items that benefit breast cancer awareness and included information about where to purchase them.
