Breast cancer is close to Betsey's heart, and this year she celebrates her 12th year as a survivor. I've been more attuned to breast cancer causes since this Marie Claire article opened my eyes to the amount of research funding breast cancer pulls in each year. I took the article as a reminder to check up on the research organizations you are funding, and to conduct your due diligence. What exactly are they spending your money on?
Awhile back, Betsey offered a great 3/4 sleeve shirt sold through Everything But Water with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the LUNGevity Foundation. I was happy to see it as lung cancer is often stigmatized because of its association with smoking. But I can tell you after meeting a Stage 4 survivor, who wasn't a smoker in his lifetime, the disease impacts us all.
How do you feel about the current state of fashion for a cause? Feel free to leave your comments below.
