    This is for such a good cause. I remember watching something a while back,probably on Discovery, but can’t remember, where the commentator had said any cancer is serious, but doctors worry about breast cancer since the breasts are so close to the lungs and the potential for metasisis is great. My Aunt is a breast cancer survivor.

    Sometimes I feel like so many companies donate for one month just for their own publicity. Whatever the reason, better to donate something rather than not donate at all. Praise should be given, though, to perfume makers like Juliet by Juliet Stewart, who has always been donating, all year, year after year after year, to the fight against Breast Cancer. Juliet donates 10% of every bottle to a Cancer Treatment Center in NYC, and she doesn’t just put a pretty pink ribbon on the bottles for one month to do it. Please check out her website to read more about her great charity work (n/a). And btw, her perfume is gorgeous!

      I agree on using a good cause to make publicity.
      It is so much better to just donate $30 directly than buy something you dont really want or need. From those 10% or $2 you donate through buying something, a very small amount actually helps the cause.

      But two big thumbs up to companies that donate all year round! And a applause to every company focusing on Breast Cancer awareness through donating campaigns!
