MNU Love List – Breast Cancer Awareness

 It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so here are some products we love – some that support the cause, and some that are just beautifully pink.

1. WOMEN’S UA HEATGEAR® ALPHA SPORTS BRA – We love this “She’s a Fighter” sports bra from Under Armour. Check out Under Armour’s Power in Pink campaign. Under Armour® is donating 10 million to the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center to benefit breast health, innovation, and education. They have also partnered up with Bright Pink®,  one of our favorite organizations, whose mission is to save women’s lives from breast and ovarian cancer by empowering them to live proactively at a young age. 

2. ALEX AND ANI BRACELET – Empowerment • Love • Community – A great product from a designer we love  – this bracelet is for one of our favorite cancer research organizations, Stand Up to Cancer.  20% of all Alex and Ani sales of the Stand Up Charm, with a minimum donation of $10,000, will go directly to Stand Up To Cancer, a ground-breaking initiative created to accelerate innovative cancer research that will get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now. Alex and Ani’s Charity by Design program empowers non-profit organizations to reach their goals by capturing the power of positive energy through innovative, creative designs. 

3. PINK PONY LINE from RALPH LAUREN  – Ralph Lauren’s worldwide initiative in the fight against cancer is the Pink Pony line. Their mission is to reduce disparities in cancer care in medically underserved communities and ensure that treatment is available at an earlier, more curable stage. In the United States, 25 percent of the purchase price of Pink Pony products benefits the Pink Pony Fund of the Polo Ralph Lauren Foundation to support programs for screening, early diagnosis, treatment, research and patient navigation. Internationally, a network of local charities benefits from the sales of Pink Pony products.

4. STELLA & DOT STRENGTH & INSPIRE BRACELETS – “Every time I see a woman wearing one of the gorgeous Stella and Dot pieces, it gives us hope for the future of cancer research.” – Noreen Fraser. 100% of net proceeds through October benefit the Noreen Fraser Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for women’s cancer research and creating awareness of the importance of early detection. Noreen is one of our heroes, so we want to support her (watch her video here). Buy through Stella and Dot stylist Natalie Caplan here.

5. MODERN MUSE PERFUME COMPACT by ESTEE LAUDER – Check out all of the great products that the Estée Lauder Companies are promoting this month as gifts to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF). 100% of the suggested retail price of each Modern Muse Compact sold will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®.Pink Ribbon Products include those from brands such as Estée Lauder, Clinique, Lab Series Skincare for Men, Bumble and bumble and more. The Estée Lauder Companies’ brands are united in the belief that a world without breast cancer can exist.

6. ZOYA NAIL POLISH in GILDA – This hot pink color is perfect for brightening up your day and shares the name of one of the great cancer warriors, Gilda Radner.  Find out more about Gilda’s Clubs and the Cancer Support Community. While the Zoya polish does not support Breast Cancer Awareness Month, these products are toxic free natural nail polishes and great for those who are concerned about using harmful chemicals.

7. HUNTER PINK LIMITED RAINBOOTS  – Here’s a way to cheer up that rainy day. These pink rainboots by Hunter give anyone a bright view on the world. Cheer yourself up and wear these beauties. You’ll be the talk of the barn!
