Think Pink!

How many men do you know that are confident enough to wear pink? I’ve heard strong reactions from pro-pink and anti-pink camps from men: some don’t care about wearing a pink polo or button-up and some men snicker at the thought. (Side note: I think it’s cool when guys wear pink.)
Either way, if your man just doesn’t want to be seen in pink but wants to support a good cause, men (or women) can check out pinkboxers.org. These one hundred percent cotton boxers are—you guessed it—pink. If he doesn’t like to wear pink on the outside, he can wear it under his clothes! (I received a sample in the mail and they’re pink, all right.) Pink Boxers was founded specifically to support the fight against breast cancer. The company donates one hundred percent of the proceeds to the American Breast Cancer Foundation. Bonus: October is breast cancer Awareness Month.

Think Pink

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Bike enthusiasts can show their support by picking up the popular Saris “Bones” bike rack in a lovely pink color. Saris, a Madison-based bike rack and performance cycling company, will donate five dollars from every rack purchased to the Paul P. Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Budget Bicycle Center has the rack in stock and Williamson Bicycle Works can special-order it for you. Both shops retail the rack for $150. Machinery Row Bicycles also sells Saris products, according to Saris’ website.
