Pink Ribbon Day is the fourth Monday in October.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Pink Ribbon Day is the fourth Monday in October every year. Pink Ribbon Day is an excellent time to give a gift to a special someone to help support breast cancer research. A percentage of the price of your gift should go toward support for breast cancer. Whether you and your family are affected by breast cancer or not, your gift makes a difference in the lives of the suffering. Does this Spark an idea?
Donation to a Good Cause
Donate to cancer research.
Give a donation to a cancer awareness organization such as pinkribbon.org in your friend's name. For as little as $5 you can fund research. You can also pool money with a group of friends to make a large donation in someone's name. Give someone peace of mind that a cure for cancer is being researched. Show your friend that you made the donation by writing a card to demonstrate what you hope the money goes towards.
Sporting Goods
Give the gift of good health.
Purchase an item that should help your friend stay healthy. Look through Pink Ribbon Day gifts online and find a gift that your friend can utilize during her workout schedule. You can find basketballs and volleyballs for the person who loves group activities. You can also find Pink Ribbon tennis shoes that can help your friend stay fit with cardiovascular exercise. A yoga mat that goes towards breast cancer research is perfect for someone who needs to stop worrying and relax.
Clothing
Purchase clothing with the pink ribbon logo.
Keep your friend warm and comfortable in clothing that carries the pink ribbon logo. Major retailers typically carry pink ribbon clothing during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October. Pick out some fuzzy socks and sweatpants for your mother-in-law. Find maternity clothes for an expectant sister who is altruistic at heart. You buy clothes anyway, so you might as well make your purchase go to a good cause.
An Experience
Treat your friend to a 5K race.
Treat your friend to an experience that goes towards breast cancer research. Invite your friend to do a 5K race that benefits a cancer research foundation. You can train together a few weeks ahead of time to spend time bonding. Cover your friend's entry fee to the race. Don't worry if you and your friend are not athletes. Many 5K races let you walk the race instead of run.
