Shop For A Cure

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I'm a long time supporter of cancer research. Since 6th grade I've participated in Relay for Life as a team captain and was on my school's Colleges Against Cancer Committee freshman year. As a Trendsetter for Trend Tribe I have planned a jewelry trunk show on my campus next week where a percentage of the profit goes to a philanthropy of my choice. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month I chose Susan G. Komen as my philanthropy.

This week I got an email from Tory Burch announcing their Shop for a Cure collection, which donates a percentage of purchases to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. This got me thinking, how many other retailers so similar philanthropic donations in the month of October? I did some research to compile a list and hopefully inspire my readers to combine their love of shopping with a good deed. How amazing is it that by buying products we'd typically purchase anyway we can actually be doing good for the world? So shop on my fashionistas! Shower for the Cure body wash or Glossy Gloss lipstick is calling your name!
