Re: The Pink-tober Madness begins!

A+ Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation
A National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund
B+ Prevent Cancer Foundation
A- Prostate Cancer Foundation

I was looking at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. They are very good at posting research they support. AND . . . they have a list of their Shop Pink partners. So you can go online and see which companies are supporting research. They say the pink has raised over $450 million since 1993. Holy Cow that is a lot of money!

If you go to the Research in Action tab and scroll down - there is a significant amount of information about research supported, including the support of Herceptin.

Thanks to BCRF the color pink is starting to grow on me . . .
