Power in Pink- Breast Cancer Awareness



         October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  For many of us, we have a friend or loved one that has either fought this disease personally or been affected by it.  There are so many organizations you can support to help find the cure.   Below are just a few fashion related and entertainment organizations that donate proceeds to Breast Cancer Research.
