October marks National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time devoted to supporting the awareness and prevention of breast cancer. As a cause that hits so close to home for so many, the emanating of support is felt deeply each October since its establishment as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 1985.
During October, there is a rise in pink products, when many brands “go pink” in support of breast cancer awareness. This year is no exception, with many designers and brands showing their unrelentless support for this cause.
Though direct donations to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, and the National Breast Cancer Foundation (to name a few) are always appreciated and needed, there are also brands that one can shop while donating to this important cause. Plus, the holidays are near, and a pretty present with a philanthropic element will not go unnoticed.
Here are five stylish brands supporting breast cancer awareness while spreading hope.
