For the month of October 2008, we will donate $2 for every Pink RuMe Bag purchased here, and an additional $1 if you also purchase a Pink Klean Kanteen 27oz reusable water bottle. That’s a 10% straight cash donation for each purchase. (and knowing us, we’ll probably throw in more when we’re writing the check.)

ABOUT BREAST CANCER ACTION
** We chose this organization per the request of Lynda’s close friend (and Delight customer) who recently had a double mastectomy.

Founded in 1990, Breast Cancer Action was started by women in a San Francisco breast cancer support group who were frustrated by the lack of knowledge about their disease. Led by the late Elenore Pred, they created an organization that would help transform breast cancer from a private medical crisis to a public health emergency.

BCA continues this work, and is now a national education and activist organization that challenges assumptions and inspires change to end the breast cancer epidemic.

While BCA has thousands of supporters throughout the United States and abroad, we do not have chapters in other cities. We encourage those who are interested in being a part of our work to subscribe to our newsletter and monthly ealert.
Mission Statement

BCA carries the voices of people affected by breast cancer to inspire and compel the changes necessary to end the breast cancer epidemic.

What does BCA do?

1. Advocates for policy changes in three priority areas:  

   - Treatment by shfting the balance of power at the FDA away from the pharmaceutical industry and towards the public interest while advocating for more effective and less toxic treatments.
   - Environment by decreasing involuntary environmental exposures that put people at risk for breast cancer.
   - Inequities by creating awareness that it is not just genes, but social injustices - political, economic, and racial inequities - that lead to disparities in breast cancer outcomes.

2. Provides information to anyone who needs it via newsletters, Web sites, e-alerts, and a toll-free number.

3. Organizes people to do something besides worry.
