Commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month With Pink Beads
One of the many Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelets available at Shanrene.com
October is breast cancer awareness month and I thought I would commemorate the month by highlighting some of the ways bead jewelry artists are donating money to finding a cure for breast cancer and raising breast cancer awareness.
BreastCancer.org – A wonderful site filled with information, inspiring stories and helpful information. They do have an online gift shop with some bead jewelry items.
Shanrene.com – They have a lot of charity bead jewelry and items on their site, but they have an especially good collection of bead breast cancer bracelets. Their website confirms that 10% of all the gross sales of beaded jewelry goes to the cause it commemorates. In 2005 they raised over $100,000 for various charities!
Firemountain Gems – Of course the bead supply king of the internet has a full page of bead jewelry breast cancer activities, products and promotions. You can buy supplies that promote breast cancer awareness, read about their past activities and even purchase a Breast Cancer Awareness Lapen Pin with 100% of the profits going towards the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
The Breast Cancer Site – I hesitate to list this last one because they are a company which just makes websites and sells products for charities. Their click and referral systems were somewhat controversial and questionable, but now they are mostly selling products and advertising with a small portion of the proceeds going to various charities. They have an entire page of Breast Cancer Awareness Jewelry products.
Obviously there are plenty of other great bead jewelry sites and artists supporting Breast Cancer Awareness. And there lots of other sites that sell jewelry to support research into curing other types of cancer as well. If you’re looking to buy or make your own jewelry for cancer awareness, you can check out this cancer color chart to see what colors you should be looking for. Do your part and try to support some of these great organizations!
