According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer incidences are highest among “non-Hispanic white women, followed by African American women.” This statistic alone should be all the convincing you need to seek a deeper understanding of the deadly disease. Besides encouraging yourself and others to have regular breast examinations and know the signs of early detection, there are a slew of other ways to spead awareness. As we enter Breast Cancer Awareness Month, consider shopping these charitable beauty buys that will donate money toward groundbreaking research.
