Shop With Purpose!

Tuesday, September 27, 2011

Greetings Divas and Gents! I'm sure you are painfully aware of the fact that the month of September is on its way out, and October is quickly approaching. As you may also be aware, the month of October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the Centers for Disease Control, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, and is one of the leading causes of cancer death among women of all races. Additionally, the American Cancer Society estimates that 2,140 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among men in 2011. This is clearly a serious health crises, for both men and women, and I relish at any opportunity to help organizations dedicated to finding a cure.


Lucky for me, and you, the month of October is filled with may ways for the common consumer (us) to lend ourselves to the cause while embarking on one of our favorite hobbies: SHOPPING! Throughout the month of October, several entities will feature opportunities for us to score fabulous items for our wardrobes, jewelry boxes, and homes with some or all of the proceeds being donated to organizations dedicated to eradicating this disease. I have poured through tons of magazines and websites to find campaigns for you all. This post is a result of my diligence! Please feel free to thank me in advance for your new additions.....joking! But seriously, enjoy the deals and remember the cause. Breast cancer affects all of us... let's shop while kicking its ass!
