Booby Benefit Bot by IttyBittiesForYou

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this collection of items highlights only a few of the talented Etsy sellers offering items under the theme of "think pink."  A portion of proceeds from each sale will be donated to various charities that contribute to breast cancer awareness and research.

Not only can you grab some great items, you'll be helping raise money for a fantastic cause. For more information on National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, visit www.nbcam.org.

This is a cause that is near and dear to my heart. I am so glad that a community like Etsy embraces the cause.

I'm so moved by how many sellers on Etsy are doing something for this. It's a cause that hits close to home for so many people.

Lets all help the cause.

The LEST team is running a promo, "Tuff Enough to Wear Pink"! A portion or all sales will be going a breast cancer organization of their choice. Just search for the tag, LEST TEAM TUFF ENOUGH .

I'll be adding "Pink" items to my shop all month!

Cancer in many of its forms has taken so many of my friends and family away from me, so this cause is very near to my heart. Its so nice to see other crafters and artists helping out!

Wonderful items. I too belong to the LEST team and we are doing a sale as described above. I'm happy to see one of our member's beads above.

As a survivor it means so much to see so many people helping
the cause. Thank you all! We are giving 10% off of your entire purchase in our shop also.

I have bracelets in my shop honoring my husbands first wife, Patsy. The entire purchase price goes to a memorial scholarship fund to honor her and my second daughter, Callie, who died from a asomal genetic disorder.

Oh my goodness, the Booby Benefit Bot is too cute!

The crochet pattern is really pretty, soft and sensative :)

Hooray for etsy for highlighting this worthy cause. I have been blogging about etsy
shops that donate to the cause of breast cancer.

I also have a piece in my shop for breast cancer awareness... http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?...

Great items for a wonderful cause! Thanks for highlighting all of these pieces.

How wonderful to see people still caring for others so much. Is there somewhere I can find out when these events are coming up so I can join in the giving?

Oct. 9, 2008 at 9:13 p.m. evittscreekarts

How do I join a breast cancer awareness team? I can't find one on the list. This hits close to home and I want to be a part of the cause!!!!

I love the Etsy community! I'm a 3 year survivor and I donate chemo caps to my oncologists' office. Gotta pay it forward! Beautiful pieces featured here.

Donating to charity is always a wonderful idea. Just don't donate to Planned Parenthood because abortion is shown to significantly increase your risk for breast cancer thereby negating all your hard work to raise money for it! How frustrating to say the least, right?

Oct. 16, 2008 at 3:22 a.m. BluCille

And i love that "booby bot"!

It is a great thing you are doing. It is important to raise the awareness and let people know how important it is to donate.

My 1 yr old niece has cancer too- but not breast cancer.
All my proceeds currently are going to help my sister pay for my niece's medical bills. Once we help with that, then I will donate to a cancer charity.

EvittsCreek (and anyone else) - you're welcome to join us on the SouthEast US team. Our team tag for this cause is "SEUS Charity"

These are all great. My mom is a cancer survivor- support the cause :)

I love participating in this cause. I did a special event this month for the foudation fundraiser with petitespoon and ragehousenternational. I feel so good for doing something good.

Awesome, I was just gearing up to support the cause, and it's great to see the support from Etsy. Thank you!!

This is an incredibly important cause, for myself, my two daughters, and all the women out there!! I'm participating with my partnership with Susan G. Komen for the Cure! My pink heart necklace: "Rose Heart Pendant Necklace for the Cause" gives 20% of its proceeds to helping find a cure!!! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?...
