It's Oct 30th - Have You Forgotten About Breast Cancer Awareness Month?

The month of October has just flown by, and like many others, you may be wanting it to be over already, because you're sick of the barrage of pink products. Understandable. The month of October now kind of reminds me of the saying we have for March (in like a..out like a) - October's slogan about pink ribbon products may go something like this: "In like an avalanche, out like a flurry".

As I said two weeks ago, interest in breast cancer awareness month seems to drop off about halfway through, and 2008 also appears to be following that trend. But there's still a little bit of time to think pink in 2008.

So consider this your last minute reminder that you only have one day left to buy any pink ribbon products from companies that use October 31st as the cut off for their donations to Susan G. Komen, the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), among other smaller charities and programs that raise money for the cure and breast cancer awareness.

Keep in mind that select companies may keep donation periods open longer - often until the end of the year. Look through the list of October 2008's Breast Cancer Awareness Products to find companies which have a longer donation period, and find out which products you must purchase by the end of October. Both eBags and GUESS are two examples of companies which donate for an extended period of time.

As always, this site will continue to feature pink products, celebrity breast cancer news and fundraiser events throughout the year as they happen.
