Breast Cancer Awareness Month is almost here — which means pink products — and pinkwashing — will soon be everywhere. 🎀

While there are many companies that genuinely support breast cancer research and nonprofit organizations helping people affected by breast cancer, not every pink campaign is as charitable as it may appear.

Before you buy pink, ask where the money goes, how much is actually donated, and whether the company’s actions align with the cause. https://t.co/TcItcvJH6U

💝 And remember: You can always donate directly to the organizations you support.
