Breast Cancer Awareness Month Thread (October 2009)
This is the official Breast Cancer Awareness Month Thread
So feel free to post all those pink ribbon promotions that you guys come across
Here are a couple that just popped up in my mailbox: Lauren Merkin is a huge supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness! Every year she designs a special pink item from her collection, where 50% of the proceeds are donated to the Young Survival Coalition. This year she has designed a Fuchsia Tiled Embossed Lamb wallet, retail $175 and 50% of the proceeds are donated to YSC!
Nahui Ollin will donate 50% of profits of this canvas tote, $130, with pink hand-embroidery to the Young Survival Coalition, a non- profit breast cancer organization for young breast cancer survivors. For more information, visit Young Survival Coalition. At Clinique
$10 from each purchase helps support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

This popped up in my mailbox: the Lisa for LOFT breast cancer awareness bracelet
Already a favorite of celebrities including Taylor Swift, Emmanuelle Chriqui of Entourage, Gossip Girl’s Kelly Rutherford and Audrina Patridge of The Hills, the Lisa for LOFT limited-edition bracelet benefitting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation arrives in LOFT stores nationwide and LOFTonline.com today.
Worn alone or layered with others for dramatic effect, the bracelet offers a chic alternative to the conventional cause-supporting pin -- a stylish way for fashionistas to “think pink” in support of a prominent issue effecting women everywhere.
Despite its designer pedigree, the bracelet’s retail price of $24.50 remains true to LOFT’s spirit of providing on-trend items at unexpected prices. Five dollars of the proceeds from each bracelet sold will be donated directly to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, a charity dedicated to providing critical funding for research at medical centers worldwide and increasing public awareness about good breast health in order to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer.
The bracelet is available for purchase from October 1 - 31, offering shoppers another compelling reason to Live.Love.LOFT.

So many beautiful things in this thread, so many ways to help a great cause. Breast cancer personally hits home because it runs on my mother's side of the family.
One of my friends is doing a marathon for cancer research this month. Is anyone here doing anything special?
