20 Treasures for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and when you look around, you’ll see people wearing pink ribbons, pins, and wristbands in honor of the campaign.
It is the goal of breast cancer awareness to bring attention to the importance of early detection. Since breast cancer is such a tragic reality that affects the lives of millions annually, it is a benefit to all to support the cause in any way possible. One way you can do this is to shop for a cause. There are many retailers that support breast cancer awareness month, holding special promotions while providing percentage donations to groups that fund research to fight against the disease. If you’re wondering how you too can do your part, start by supporting the following stores—all of which give tremendously to the cause.
