Only a few days remain in Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but with more than 250,000 women likely to be diagnosed in the next year, it's important to remain aware throughout the year and take action - whether it's getting a mammogram, performing regular self-exams or donating money for research on an ongoing basis.
One way to keep your awareness up is to surround yourself with Pink Products, and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation has a fantastic assortment of items for the home, your office and yourself. One of the best features of the BCRF product page is that it tells you the exact amount of your purchase that will be donated to breast cancer research - so you can make a decision based not only on what product you like, but also on how much money will really go to the cause.

Many research studies have found that tea, particularly green tea, offers lots of health benefits.
Now you can get the health benefits for yourself and help benefit someone else's health at the same time with Bentley's Finest Teas Tea Leaves For Life campaign. For every special tea tin sold, Bentley's will donate a dollar to the Y-Me National Breast Cancer Organization.

Some items are more overt in spreading the breast cancer awareness message, others somewhat understated. Gordon's Jewelers has blended both with these
beautiful jewelry creations to benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Pink sapphires go with eveything, don't they?

So, Bryan pointed out that so many of our Pink Products are great for women, but what's there for men who want to shop for the cause ... so with that mission in mind, I searched and found a few things that would have to be considered 'manly' enough ... with a portion of proceeds still going to breast cancer research. Can't complain about a Men's Black Golf Shirt, or the scintillating scent of Unforgivable by Sean John Eau de Toilette ... and surely the
Special Edition 2008 Mercedes Benz C-350 Sport Sedan would make a man happy - if we women leave any behind on the lot for them. Of course, cash is gender-free.

You'll have a whole new take on cooking with KitchenAid's line of pink cooking accessories. They've got everything from measuring cups to hand mixers to spatulas ... and for those who don't do much cooking, in South Florida a hand can opener is one of your standard hurricane prep supplies - why not in pink? A portion of proceeds from the pink collection goest ot he Susan G. Komen Foundation Breast Cancer Foundation.
