8 Breast Cancer Awareness Products That Actually Give Back

  • Groove Life Silicone Ring

    Lifting weights and swinging kettlebells can wreak havoc on your rings or cause them to leave painful callouses on your skin, which is why a lot of people opt to wear silicone rings while working out. Purchase this pink and white edition and Groove Life will donate 20 percent of the ring's proceeds to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

  • Pampered Chef Whipped Cream Maker

    During the month of October, Pampered Chef will donate one dollar to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer education and early detection programs for every pink whipped cream maker purchased. In just 30 seconds, and with three ingredients, this limited-edition tool can transform whipping cream into whipped cream, plus make the fluffiest scrambled eggs or even your own homemade butter.

  • New Balance Lace Up for the Cure

    For every shoe, accessory or apparel item you purchase from New Balance's 2017 Lace Up for the Cure collection, the company will donate five percent of the MSRP of each product sold to the Susan G. Komen foundation, with a minimum guaranteed donation of $500,000.

  • Aveda Moisturizing Creme

    The colder months can leave your hands dry and chaffed from outdoor activities and extra hand washing. Keep them soft and ready to tackle all fall and winter activities with Aveda's hand relief moisturizing cream with rosemary mint. Four dollars from every purchase of the cream goes to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation's efforts toward cruelty-free research.

  • S'well Bottle

    Feel good about yourself every time you hydrate with the stainless steel, BPA-free, eco-friendly and stylish S'well bottles. While the company will donate 100 percent of the proceeds for purchasing the the Swarovski Brilliance Jolie bottle, $1,500 might not be in the budget. Scoop up a Bikini Pink bottle instead and you'll still be helping the cause since 20 percent MSRP goes toward helping find a cure at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

8 Brands Giving Back to Raise Breast Cancer Awareness

By: Elizabeth Lowry

What began in 1985 as a way for the American Cancer Society and pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca to bring awareness to mammography for early breast cancer detection, Breast Cancer Awareness Month has grown into something of a cultural phenomenon, with everything from bags of carrots to athletic socks sporting the ubiquitous pink ribbon.

Although you might think that any pink purchase is helping the cause, this isn't always the case. Some companies simply ride the pink ribbon coattails, giving little, if any, money back to charity. If you want to make your purchases count this month, be sure to read the fine print: Does the product clearly state what percentage of the proceeds are being donated? Is there a cap on the amount of money a company is willing to donate? What organization will get the donations and what will they do with them?

The following products serve double-duty: helping you achieve your healthy living goals while giving back to a cause that affects so many.
