Charitable Gift Giving

Update as of 2011: it looks like the original fishing pole I mentioned below no longer donates a percentage of the purchase price to charity. But this one does: Ready 2 Fish Spinning Combo with Tackle

Here’s one of the more unique pink products for breast cancer awareness.

It’s the Shakespeare Ladyfish Spinning Combo, a fishing pole which benefits the American Breast Cancer Foundation.

The rod and reel combo is a lightweight set perfect for family fishing trips. Even though it’s lighter than heavy-duty fishing poles, it still hauls in the feistiest freshwater fish.

The rod is a 2-piece rod which measures 5 feet, 6 inches. The reel is a 2 ball bearing, one way clutch 30 size reel with 6 pound line.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this combo will go to benefit the early detection of breast cancer.

This pink umbrella isn’t just pretty raingear. It’s an automatic open / automatic close umbrella that opens to full size.

It protects you from the rain, of course, but with SunGuard UPF 50+ highest rated sun protection, you can also use it on a sunny day to protect yourself from the damaging rays of the sun.

The umbrela is available in four very stylish pink designs. All come with an embroidered pink ribbon logo on the tie strap, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to organizations dedicated to raising funds to help fight breast cancer.

Show your support for and make a statement about breast cancer research and education with this great product.
