This October, The Carousel is asking Australians to ‘think pink’ to help fund vital breast cancer research. With so many great brands and products involved, we’ve made your choice a little easier by putting together our edit of the top Pink Products this year!
The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), The McGrath Foundation, Cancer Australia and The Ralph Lauren Pink Pony Campaign are just a few of the charities involved in supporting breast cancer research during October. And, with such a wide range of beauty and lifestyle products available, with each sale contributing to breast cancer research this is your chance to help reach our collective goal of zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030.
With breast cancer affecting a staggering 1 in 8 women in their lifetime, it’s likely that you know someone who is, or will be, affected by this disease. The NBCF believes the most effective way to improve the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer is through research.
“By buying a pink product this October, you are raising funds for breast cancer research that could one day help your mother, grandmother, daughter, sister or friend”, says Carole Renouf, CEO of the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Here are our HOT PINK PRODUCTS for 2014
