Think
Before You Pink: Breast cancer has become the poster child of corporate
cause-related marketing campaigns, as companies try to boost their image
and their profits by connecting themselves to a good cause. Breast Cancer
Action urges you to ask some critical questions before opening your wallet

it supporting? How is it being raised? And will it truly affect the fight
against breast cancer? Make sure you know what your money is actually supporting,
and consider whether shopping will truly make a difference.
