Shop PINK from your favorite vintage sellers! Click on the links to Shop Pink to help spread awareness of breast cancer with donations made to the cancer foundations indicated by participating Vintage Fashion Guild sellers:

In 2009, NBCAM (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month) celebrates its 25th anniversary. Since its inception a quarter century ago, NBCAM has been at the forefront of promoting awareness of breast cancer issues and has evolved along with the national dialogue on breast cancer.

Today, NBCAM recognizes that although many great strides have been made in breast cancer awareness and treatment, there remains much to be accomplished. As they celebrate their 25th anniversary, they remain dedicated to educating and empowering women to take charge of their own breast health by practicing regular self-breast exams to identify any changes, scheduling regular visits and annual mammograms with their healthcare provider, adhering to prescribed treatment, and knowing the facts about recurrence.

While October is recognized as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the <a href="http://www.nbcam.org/about_nbcam.cfm">www.NBCAM.org Web site</a href> is a year-round resource for breast cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and the general public. We encourage you to visit the site in October and regularly throughout the year as updated breast cancer information and resources are added.

This is a wonderful thread - thank you for starting this. I've also put the announcement in my Etsy shop and on all pink items. :)

Yes! So appreciative that this got going! In honor of MC Lamb, for the remainder of October I am designating 10% of the sale price on all pink items in my web store to Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation. My web store is at http://www.denisebrain.com/brainshop.html and by pink I mean anything with pink. (If you have any doubts, email me!)

Some examples:

This is a fabulous idea, and I am happy to participate.

Until the end of October I will donate 10% of the purchase price of any item purchased from my eBay or Etsy store with the word "Pink" in the title, and I'll match the amount.

I'll be making the donation to the Susan Komen for the Cure Foundation in memory of my mother, Florence Smith, who died of complications of breast cancer on October 31, 2002.

If you'd like to donate without making a purchase, you can do so online.

I've promo'd our listings on Facebook and Twitter and have sold one pink item from my web store. How are others doing?

Today I saw a friend at the post office and she just found out she has breast cancer, found none too soon. I am redoubling my concern and effort, thinking of my friend Julie now too.
