There are a multitude of events the length and breath of the country, so get searching for your nearest Think Pink event and support Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Hold on just one cotton picking minute; you can’t make an event, well shame on you. No seriously, we all have busy lifes but theirs one thing we women always have time for SHOPPING! Support Think Pink by nipping down to the stores and buying something pink:
Next have the Forever Pink collection with pink umbrellas and spotted wellie boots. You can pick up T-shirts, a pair of stylish bootcut jeans with a pink ribbon logo on the back pocket , as well as a tote bag with diamante pink ribbon detailing.
Tesco has a range of cute underwear, as well as a seductive hot pink lingerie set, which is being sold in support of Cancer Research UK. Tesco are giving 10 percent from the selling price for every special item sold as a donation to its chosen charity, Cancer Research UK.
Debenhams has a range of BCAM products for sale, ranging from perfume and mugs to a pair of cute Totes embroidered ballet slippers (£10).
Ann Summers is marking a decade of supporting Breast Cancer Campaign with a 10 percent donation from sales of limited edition Ann Summers products. That means £1.20 from the sale of each pair of Sweet Cheeks briefs (priced at £12) and 80p from the sale of Miss Massage lotion (£8) will go to the charity this month.
Take your boyfriend, husband, partner, colleague, boss or friend. The more the merrier! As you can see, supporting Breast Cancer Awareness and Thinking Pink isn’t too difficult. Plus whilst your shopping for those pink goodies, tell your partner it’s all in a good cause.
Happy October Pinkies!
