Breast cancer is near to our hearts at Solutions® … in part because members of our own “family” have had their lives touched by it. To promote breast cancer awareness, $1.25 is donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for every Pink Ribbon Magnet sold during the month of October. As the world’s largest and most progressive grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has been dedicated to eradicating breast cancer at every stage for over 25 years. (Editors Note: We have sold out of the pink ribbon magnets, thank you to everyone for helping us support the fight against breast cancer.)

You may also show your support by making a personal donation to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.
