These days the color PINK symbolizes more then classic femininity… today PINK is the iconic war cry of The Cure for Breast Cancer movement. Since October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and nonprofitshoppingmall.com is featuring Susan G. Komen for the Cure ®, we thought it would be fun and fitting to put together a totally ‘pinktastic’ shopping guide to get you Thinking Pink! We’ve highlighted girly-pink finds from several of our top 40 retailers — some of which have internal cause marketing strategies and are already giving to groups like The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, The Breast Cancer Fund and Susan G. Komen for The Cure. By shopping through nonprofitshoppingmall.com, you can double up on your giving as we’ve selected Susan G. Komen for the Cure ® as our default nonprofit for the month of October.
