Emergen-C
The latest product to get the pink-for-breast-cancer treatment is Emergen-C, a powdered drink mix that contains huge amounts of Vitamin C. The company has partnered with Keep A Breast Foundation since 2007 and they donate 50% of profits from this item to the charity. That’s actually not too shabby an amount, when you consider that [...]
Pinkwashing
From the Think Before You Pink campaign: Pinkwasher: (pink’-wah-sher) noun. A company that purports to care about breast cancer by promoting a pink ribbon campaign, but manufactures products that are linked to the disease. This is an excellent point. As much as we here at PinkBlog (okay, me, there’s only one of me) love that [...]
WBCA Pink Zone
The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) has established the Pink Zone to increase awareness of breast cancer on the court and around the country. They are heavily involved in fundraising and have collaborated with the NCAA for some of their efforts. You can buy the pink basketball seen here, as well as other pink products, [...]
Bloomie’s Little Pink Book
Bloomingdale’s has a special section called their “Little Pink Book” that donates part of the proceeds to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation between now and December 21st. Not quite everything there is pink, but it’s close.
Crocs for the Cure
For the entire month of the October, every pair of pink Crocs you buy will result in $5 being sent to the Breast Cancer Research Fund. There’s not very many styles; I chose the Malindi to feature here, though the stylish Sassari count as well. The other pink styles are only the usual goofy-looking Crocs, [...]
Pink Doughnut (Edible!)
Please forgive the really bad picture, but I had to share the breast cancer doughnut with you! I saw this at my local 7-11. It is a frosted doughnut with sprinkles that benefits the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. It’s $1.19 which is more than their usual doughnut, and only 15 cents goes to [...]
Pink Planes
Does anybody know what airline this is?! According to the photographer, who gave permission for me to use the picture, this is at Vidrasau Airport in Romania. This pink plane is easily identified – it’s from Delta, in honor of breast cancer awareness. The plane was introduced in September 2006, and it was used at [...]
iPhone Otterbox
Otterbox has been around for a long time, and if you are the kind of person who drops your phone constantly or lets it bump around a lot, then an Otterbox is probably for you. But what if you’re also a stylish semi-clumsy person? Then you absolutely need the pink Otterbox case for your iPhone. [...]
Pink Segway
This is, reportedly, the world’s only pink Segway. It was made to be a charity auction item and bidding was to start at $7500 (a basic Segway starts around $5100). I have no idea if it ever sold; it was to benefit the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, a research and support organization. (Obviously the Segway [...]
