Buy Pink

  You know October is arriving when your ordinary every day items turn pink.  During this month you have an option to buy almost anything and everything and support breast cancer research.   There has even been a movie against the “pinkwashing” phenomenon, Pink Ribbons, Inc., but I’ll save that for the hard-hitting journalists at the DeSoto Times Tribune. 

  In this month's issue of Click, we highlighted a few products that support breast cancer awareness and research.  While we could feature only a small number of items in the magazine there are so many companie who are donating money to breast cancer research and awareness there is no way we could feature everything.  Even the products below are only a sampling of the wide variety of items available to purchase to support not only breast cancer awareness, but research as well.  If you need any help locating a place to buy these items, don’t hesitate to leave a comment or send me an email.
