The Best Breast Cancer Awareness Month Finds That Give Back
Photo: Courtesy of May 28th1/16There’s a lot to look forward to in October (pumpkin spice lattes, fall foliage, Halloween costumes), but it also signals something powerful: Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are many ways to honor BCA, and we’ve found cool products that look good and do good.
Our favorite finds include a striped backpack from Dakine, a timely twilly from Tory Burch, and a wear-everywhere bra from Aerie. The best part? No matter which pink item you choose, they all have a charitable component! Click through to see how our picks give back, and tell us how you’re honoring the initiative in the comments.
_Buy a rad watch from May 28th during the month of October, and a donation will be made to the American Breast Cancer Foundation. Of course, the plastic timepiece is so cute and comfy, you’ll want to wear it year-round.
