Every bit helps is true. Here's an honest question that we couldn't figure out a couple of trips ago: is there really anyone who isn't aware of breast cancer these days? Does the abstract "awareness" really accomplish anything meaningful towards actually solving the problem? Or would the money spent on all the pink articles of clothing be better spent in a research lab?
Disclaimer: I've had a cousin and an aunt die of breast cancer and another aunt fight it. My wife is at risk due to family history. So, no insensitivity here, just honest curiosity.

This is my main issue with this situation. I'm all for charity but I don't trust them not to make a profit from it.

It's "Men's Health and Prostate Cancer Awareness Movember"... (Real thing...Google it!) No colors, you grow a moustache. Although I suppose you could color your moustache as you saw fit...

Who cares , you idiot ! Whether you donate or not, it shows respect and perhaps support for the cause. Wait a minute , doesn't the nation celebrate Columbus Day? Granted , as pilots for the most part don't know what holidays are but , we have one after a guy who tortured the natives , conquered and was an expert at human trafficking. Shut the hell up and go b about something else to your boyfriend.

My significant other is a nurse practitioner at MSK in NYC dealing with ovarian, uterine and cervical cancers. My company said I could wear the pink tie, when I told her that she said screw the tie and just donate. She is on the front lines, I'll listen to her.

Breast cancer awareness advocates pink color which represents hope and awareness for those who affected by this terrible disease. Most of the charities and organizations used pink color ribbons, ties and epaulets in numerous forms.
