AHH! Bean Bag Chairs, Jade Nguyen
Visit www.ahhprods.com
"When I was diagnosed with breast cancer this year, I was 39 and totally unprepared. Now that I have gained knowledge and hope, I am so proud to be a BCRF supporter. In the past year, literally everyone I have crossed paths with has been affected intimately by breast cancer in one way or another. That's scary. I'm grateful that BCRF is here to help advance us towards a cure in my lifetime. I started AHH! Products to offer top-quality, washable bean bag chairs with water-repellent liners that are not only stylish, but very practical. They come in sizes and styles for kids and adults, and I can tell you that bean bags really saved me during my surgeries when I couldn't lay down! $1 for every pink 37" premium size "Cuddle Soft" bean bag sold will be donated to BCRF.

Days Ago, Kathleen Whitehurst
Visit www.howmanydaysago.com
"I am a 14-year breast cancer survivor who endured chemotherapy, a mastectomy, and a Tram flap reconstruction. Inspired by my family's love to fight the disease, I had 7 surgeries in 4 years. After my checkup in 2007, my doctor challenged me to help other women facing the same battle I overcame. My daughter Jamie worked with me at the time at the company I founded with a friend. We manufactured our invention called the DaysAgo Digital Day Counter. Jamie, who had stood by me through all my treatments, suggested creating a Pink DaysAgo for women to stick to the bathroom mirror to remind how long it had been since their last breast self-exam. We introduced the Pink DaysAgo in October 2007 and 10% of your purchase from this site is donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation"

HOPE MATTERS, Founder Maryann Makekau
Visit www.becausehopematters.com Hope Matters was founded on the desire to make a difference in hurting lives worldwide. That motivation began with our Little Pink Book™ series; from the first book to bless a friend diagnosed with breast cancer-a channel of hope was born. No matter how old you are, coping with cancer or other difficult journeys, "the child within" is impacted. We believe in magnifying the hope for a cure. That's what led us to dedicate fifty cents of every sale of When Your Teacher Has Cancer to BCRF.

Jerry's Occoquan Jewelers, Brenda Monn and Patricia Lyons
Visit www.jerrysoccoquanjewelers.com
"We are a small woman owned jewelry boutique located in Historic Occoquan, 30 minutes south of Washington D.C. Cancer has touched our lives in many ways. Diagnosed in 2003 with triple negative breast cancer, I am a jewelry designer and survivor! I'm trying to help ensure that many more women survive this dreaded disease. My business partner's mother was diagnosed in 2004 with late stage breast cancer, then in 2009 with Ovarian cancer. She has recently found out she has mets to her lungs, or perhaps a third primary cancer. We are waiting for the biopsy results. I have created four exclusive fine jewelry designs: a Drop Of Faith, the Gift SURVIVOR, Helen's Whistle and III- (triple negative), where 7% from your purchase of each design will be donated to BCRF. We feel passionately that in many ways we have been called to action. In our own small way, we WILL fight until a cure is found!"

Red Daisy Upscale Sports Bras, Phylise Sands
Visit www.red-daisy.com
"Red Daisy™ is a labor of love for me. As a lifelong fitness buff, I wanted to create a sports bra line that satisfies active women's fashion needs as well as their need for support and performance. Providing inspiration and support to women living with breast cancer became another personal mission for me in 2005 when my mother and sister were diagnosed with breast cancer. My mother's cancer was detected early and treated successfully while my sister continues to receive treatment. She has so inspired me with her strength that I want to empower women with breast cancer by donating 10% from every Red Daisy sports bra sold in the color red to BCRF."

Red Daisy sports bras and coordinates set a new standard in upscale active intimates with contemporary designs made of luxurious Sensitive® microfiber fabrics from Italy with Lycra® spandex. Red Daisy combines the support and performance of a classic sports bra with the allure of European lingerie. Red Daisy LLC is proud to partner with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and pledges to support the formidable women fighting this disease throughout the world. Building awareness of the benefits of an active lifestyle and good breast health is integral to our brand mission and we stand as a partner in the battle against breast cancer through our year-round efforts.

sisters4hope, LLC
Visit www.sisters4hope.com.
"Sisters4hope, LLC was started by two breast cancer survivors interested in making other cancer patients more comfortable. We personally found the seat belt a discomfort during our many trips to and from medical treatments. After breast biopsy, lumpectomy, mastectomy, radiation therapy, and breast reconstruction, our chest area was tender and sore. We wished there was a product to minimize the pain experienced when traveling. The seat belt even irritated the IV port! Thus, we have developed the sisters4hope™ memory foam seat belt cushion. Our cushion adds comfort to the seat belt strap and minimizes contact to sensitive areas, including the IV port. The pink ribbon, also adds a nice touch to your car interior. We will donate $1 for every pad sold to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® with hope that the cure is within our lifetime. But in the meantime, we hope to make other's experience a bit more comfortable. To buy one now, click here here

YogaSole Studio, Evalena V. Leedy & Antonella Pannullo
Visit www.yogasole.com
"YogaSole's mission is to bring the healing art of yoga into peoples' lives and to find ways to give back to our community. Evalena's Mom was diagnosed just as we were beginning the YogaSole venture. After 2 lumpectomies, many ups and downs, radiation therapy and lots of prayers she gratefully has joined the ranks of the breast cancer survivors who have suffered before her. Everyone we speak to has been touched in one way or another by the pain of breast cancer. After a mastectomy, Antonella's aunt is thankfully a 14 year survivor. The statistics of those who have been or will be afflicted in the future are almost overwhelming. The journey to finding a cure is long and costly, and it is in honor of the survivors and in hope for finding a cure in the future that we will donate $1 from your Mat Rental purchase to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. We wish to raise awareness and generate support for the very necessary research efforts of compassionate, driven, health care professionals. We are honored to join the survivors circle partner program.
