Cancer Caregivers
The National Cancer Institute estimates there will be 182,460 women diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008 and 40,480 female deaths due to the disease. During October, shop "pink" items and a portion of the price will be donated to breast cancer causes. Not only are there hundreds of fantastic items to choose from, you will be giving back to a worthwhile cause while shop.
We have compiled a list of over 101 such items. By no means is this a comprehensive list, as hundreds of companies have such offers. Organizations that benefit include the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Susan G. Komen for the Cure and many others.
