This month, as you probably know, is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I have family and friends who have been diagnosed with breast and other types of cancer so I feel the pain with each new case.
The statistics are pretty grim but education and prevention (as much as we know to do) is on the rise. In the meantime, there are a few companies that, because a loved one has been affected by Breast Cancer, are sounding the alarm and getting behind this cause so more women get treatment and all women are educated.
Companies with Heart
Here are a few companies with heart that are donating a part of their profits to Breast Cancer research and awareness:
Megabus – They are donating $1 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) for every ticket sold on October 18, as well as $1 for every use of #megabusGoesPink during the month of October. They even wrapped a few of their buses to show their support
Valvoline – They are selling pink windshield wipers and all the proceeds go to breast cancer research and awareness. What woman or girl doesn’t love pink!
