It’s October, and we all know what that means. Pink is everywhere. It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month - what we lovingly refer to as BCAM - and our community has a lot of complicated feelings about that.
We know, October can be hard.
So, it’s important that we’re transparent about the partners we choose to work with. We’re proud we only partner with companies who disclose to their consumers exactly where their donation dollars go.
View Partners
We also look for partners who offer products our community wants. We want you to love the things you’re shopping for while knowing that the companies are giving back a portion of their proceeds to the programs and services that YSC provides. These funds directly help us build more Navigator guidebooks, host more attendees at the YSC Summit and support more Face 2 Face groups across the country. Our partners know breast cancer is a year-round disease, not just something that happens in October.
So, shop for some great clean haircare, apparel by survivors and many other great offers this year. Please support the partners that support YSC and share with your communities!
