October is
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and as such many retailers and manufacturers run special promotions to help raise money for the cause.
Below are several such promotions, including specific shoes and handbags you can buy that will help to raise money for breast cancer research.
Pink Ribbon UGGs - UGG Australia Classic Short Boots to Support City of Hope
Exclusively available at
The Walking Company retail stores and online site, these UGG Australia Classic Short boots come in chestnut or pink, and feature a small pink ribbon emblem on the side back. Priced at just under $150, 5% of the purchase price of these boots will be donated to City of Hope, one of the country's leading research, treatment and education centers for cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
In addition to this popular style, The Walking Company also carries several other pink ribbon footwear products, including shoes from Ecco, Abeo and Dansko, some of which are exclusively available through this retailer. For more information on the products and the programs, be sure to check out The Walking Company's
Walking for Hope program, or visit the
Pink Ribbon UGGs page.
Dansko clogs are well-loved by medical professionals, as well as just about anybody who has ever sought out really comfortable footwear. And now, those who need or want a pair of comfortable clogs have further incentive to consider Dansko: their new pink ribbon clogs, and their commitment to donate $25,000 Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. You can learn more about Dansko's "Pink Ribbon" clogs at the
official Dansko site, or check them out at Endless.com.

Looking for handbags? You'll definitely want to check out eBags. In addition to having a great selection in everything from luggage to handbags, year-round they donate 10% of the retail price of any pink product purchased on their site to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Since 1989, New Balance has been associated with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Race for the Cure, and has been a National Series Sponsor since 1991. In addition to sponsoring the breast cancer survivors who make up the Honorary Team New Balance at Komen Races, they offer a pretty extensive collection of Pink Ribbon footwear and apparel, so that you can show your support
and experience the comfort of New Balance.
Since the year 2000, TheBreastCancerSite.com has distributed nearly 50,000 free mammograms via the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. These mammograms are funded by site sponsors who donate funds each time a user makes a daily click on the pink button on their site. This is a fantastically easy and free way for you to help support the cause. If you'd like to do more, you can also shop at the Breast Cancer Site's online store, which has loads of pink ribbon shoes, slippers, boots, sandals and socks. Purchases made at the site also help to fund mammograms.
