Breast cancer effects many of us. My grandmother died from breast cancer and my aunt is a two time survivor. I saw how they both suffered and how drastically breast cancer changed their lives. Everyone I know has at least one personal story about breast cancer. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been impacted, directly or indirectly.

Though breast cancer awareness needs to be in our minds year round, it generally isn’t. However, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s a time when breast cancer education runs rampant and people come out in full force to remember and support those who have had and are currently suffering from this disease.

It is also a time when vendors show their support by donating money to breast cancer organizations. I want to take a moment to congratulate those in our community who are taking the time this month and investing the money to support breast cancer awareness and those affected. I thank you for your commitment!

Dear Readers, this month please support those who support breast cancer awareness! Treat yourself to a little fun and luxury, and support breast cancer awareness by shopping at the the following stores during Pink October:

Power to the Pink Kit

Babeland
The good folks at Babeland have a selection of toys called “Pink October Toys”. When you purchase any of these Pink October Toys, Babeland will donate 10% of the sale to the Young Survival Coalition. This organization works with survivors, caregivers and the medical, research, advocacy and legislative communities to increase the quality and quantity of life for women diagnosed with breast cancer ages 40 and under. Head over to Babeland and please support breast cancer!

CAC Pink Plug

Crystal Delights
Colors Against Cancer currently provides butt plugs and dildos in three colors which represent the cancer charities they support: pink for breast cancer, amber for leukemia, and lavender for general cancer awareness. The CAC butt plugs and dildos are available singly or as a matching set, and proceeds from the sale of these toys are donated to charitable cancer funds. Be sure to pick up a pink CAC butt plug or dildo this month.
