Shop for the Cure - Buying to support Breast Cancer Awarness
A great commentary by Sarah Hutchins at Vanguard, on the commercializing of pink ribbon products. Plus a fabulous cartoon to help you visualize the scheme.

The bottom line, make sure you know what and why you’re buying. Are you shopping to show your support or find a gift that commemorates an event… or are you buying while you pay to support the cause?
Many of the products I have found to feature here do not actually raise funds for the cause… that’s why I’ve added them to my collection. Although the merchant may not donate, I do… because it’s important to me.
