October is breast cancer awareness month. There are many sites to look at that support breast cancer. I am suggesting the following the Three:

1. Have you heard of the Army of Women? www.armyofwomen.org. Sign up to join the force that helps find a cure for breast cancer.

2. How about Passionately Pink for the Cure? Become a “Passionista”, www.passionatelypink.org.

October 31, 2008 is the date here at Haralee.Com, to wear the pink.

3. I vote for the cure. Tell our political leaders that “you expect them to make breast cancer a national priority.”  http://komenpolicy.org/campaign/ivftc

There is discussion among women, and bloggers, about companies that donate a percentage of their sales to breast cancer research. The discussion varies from feeling duped by the claim that the fine print says only .5% of sales for a two week period from one company to elation by the fine print saying a cap of $250,000.00 is allowed from another company. My opinion is any dollars donated to breast cancer research are dollars previously not contributed. Large amounts or small they all add up. As a consumer, if the choice is between two products and one of the companies donate to breast cancer research that is the company I would choose.
