There are so many reasons to wear pink in October, but one reason to throw on your favorite pink-hued items is in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. So, with Mean Girls day officially behind us, don’t only wear pink on Wednesdays, but every day to support BCA.
Plenty of brands we love are involved with the cause, and showing their support through both limited-edition products and donations. If you weren’t aware, 12% of women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. To show your support, check out the brands showing BCA some love below. Get yourselves, you colleagues, and everyone you know involved in supporting such an important cause for women.
