"Think Pink"

With October on the horizon there are many things to look forward to. Fall fashion, football, and Halloween. For many Americans it's the chance to make a difference and help bring awareness to the terrible condition that is breast cancer. 

In 1982 the Susan G. Komen foundation was created. Based out of Dallas, Texas it is currently the most widely known non-profit breast cancer organization in the United States. Spending nearly 1.5 billion dollars on healthcare, social support, advocacy, research, and education. 

Every year different brands do their parts to help the cause. The NFL along with Nike release entire lines in pink to donate to different organizations. This year there is a new supporter of the Susan G. Komen foundation. Timberland. The classic 6 inch Timberland boot will release in all pink to help raise awareness. For every pair sold, men's and kids, $5 will be donated to the Susan G. Komen foundation. Timberland has guaranteed a $25,000 donation to the foundation as well. The boots will be priced at $180 for the men's sizes and $110 for the kids sizes. Will you be picking up the "Susan G. Komen" 6-inch this Saturday for support or looks? Either way you will be donating to the fight.



Other shoes and athletes supporting the cause.
