SHOP PINK

Limited edition Hilfiger bag will retail for $298, $100 of each sale goes to provide assistance to women with breast cancer.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. You don't have to shop if you don't want to; you could just give a donation or write out a check. But if you're going to shop anyways, its nice to know that some of those monies are going to a good cause. All below have a portion of their proceeds going to breast cancer research and awareness.

I have spoken to some people who are conflicted about these initiatives and sales tied into charitable causes. What's your thought on these initiatives...Corporate ploy to boost image and sales OR well intentioned?
