Not belittling the whole breast cancer situation here nor those affected by it, but the whole “breast cancer awareness” BUSINESS is IMO a crock. The money would be put to better use if it’s donated directly to those doing the research, not buying ribbons and merchandise that is pink and has some phrase on it. I work at a store that sells “BCA” merch during the months of October and most of it mentions nothing about having part of the proceeds going to any sort of foundation. I’ve maybe seen two items that say something about part of the money being donated to research. People might have good intentions and think they’re doing good by buying said merchandise and sporting it, but in reality, I don’t believe it’s doing much. And what about those rallies and walks and stuff to help raise money? How much money do they spend just organizing, advertising and throwing the event itself?
