If you buy something from the links on this page, we may earn a commission. Why Trust Us?

Breast Cancer Awareness month is upon us, which means many companies have been slapping pink ribbons on their products to show their “support” — but the unfortunate reality is that some of these companies don’t actually donate proceeds to research or prevention efforts.

If you're looking to show support through your own wallet, we’ve put together a list of products whose brands are donating a portion of proceeds directly to research and prevention organizations, like the American Cancer Society, so you can feel confident in knowing that your purchase will actually go toward helping people of all genders who are impacted by breast cancer.

Read on to learn which products you can buy that will make a meaningful difference. With every purchase you make from our list, you'll be giving back to help support innovative research that is moving us close to a world without breast cancer.

And don’t forget to check out the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for tips and tricks that can help you determine how and when to be active in your own prevention efforts.
