It’s October, which means it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

According to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Web site, in 2008 182,460 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be detected in women and an estimated 40,480 women will die from breast cancer.

With these dismal statistics, it’s nice to know that you can make a difference, just by shopping. So check out these sites and products to help do your part to find a cure.

The Pink Ribbon Shop has a ton of items to dress up your style and a portion of all proceeds are donated to breast cancer organizations.

Check out the charms for your bracelet or necklace, including this one for $3.95.

Or pick up a sharp looking compact like this one for $26.95.

A must have for those who travel, this kit from Ms. & Mrs. would make a great gift. It includes a brush with a mirror, hair spray, clear elastics, earring backs, pain reliever, deodorant wipes and tampons among a slew of other products. The kit costs $20 and 10 percent of the proceeds are donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

For the third year, Guess is donating 20 percent of the money from sales of its pink ribbon awareness watch, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $25,000. The watch costs $115.

Edressme has a slew of cute dresses and coats and will donate 15 percent to the Cure The Global Breast Cancer Movement. This jacket’s a little pricey but super cute.

So do some good this month, it could help someone dear to you or someone you don’t know, but either way, we all benefit.
