What Breast Cancer Awareness month has brought to my attention besides the stats after battling this disease
Pinkwashing
“organizations getting disproportionate publicity for donating very little”
“organizations using the pink ribbon to promote products that may be carcinogenic”
“companies using pink ribbon for marketing purposes without meaningfully supporting breast cancer awareness”
When donating money it’s become even more important to me to know what I’m supporting, where my money is going, how much of it is actually going to the cause and if that feels like it’s in alignment with my values
I have been selling things for BCA every year since my diagnosis and every time I donate I make sure I know where it’s going and that it will help someone in a way that aligns with me and what I know would be most supportive from my very personal experience battling this disease
This year when you purchase any BCA items:
Earrings $15, made by my best friend
Sweatshirts $30, made by me .14_
20% will go to a non profit organization that provides healing, integrative services and over night stays to people diagnosed with cancer at NO COST to patients
The rest of profit will go to keeping this survivors business running so I can continue to give back on a greater scale as I and grows
Any Happy Hour Activewear purchased - 50% will go to

If you’d like to make any purchases we are here during scheudled class times, Tuesdays 11-5, Thursdays 10-3, Saturdays 9:30-2. Or you may message us to schedule local pickup.
