The Hunt for Pink October
28 Oct
The month of October is winding down, and so is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
November is Diabetes Awareness month, yet I have not seen any purple (I think that is their color) items for sale promoting the cause. November is also the official month for many other organizations:
Some of these organizations have walkathons, and some promote their cause thru other activities.
A fun November event is Movenmber. Men (and some women too, I guess) are encouraged to grow facial hair to bring awareness to men’s health. I hope they have a walkathon someday, because I have a feeling that would be a fun one to attend! 
Movember participants are encouraged to become a Mo Sista or a Mo Bro and raise money for the Movember Foundation. I checked with Charity Navigator and they are unrated. Not sure what they do with the money, but I love the unique concept.
I came upon a big-honkin-pink display at Bed Bath and Beyond. I had no idea there were so many items using pink to sell their products! Take a lookie:
pink toothbrush!
pressure cookers! TicTacs, tweezers, ice compresse, pillow, curler, tumblers and pens!
Eos for lips, airline carry ons, binder clips and spatulas!
I hope all the money made from these pink items makes it to the right place, and by right place I mean a place that supports breast health. Off to November! I wonder if we will see fake moustaches for sale!
