October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and its purpose is to bring awareness to the disease, as well as raise money for research. With the money raised, research can go into finding out the cause, prevention, treatment and eventually a cure.

If you know someone affected by Breast Cancer, or maybe you yourself have been, you know the importance of October and what it can mean. And with the latest statistic showing 1 out of 8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, it tells you this is serious and that something has to be done.

How can you help? Throughout the month of October, hundreds of companies donate a portion of their sales to breast cancer research. Anywhere from 5% to 100% of their proceeds are donated and every bit of it can make a difference.

I’ve rounded up 4 products that donate a portion of their proceeds. From beauty to technology, as well as fashion – there is a little something for everyone.
