Hanes Goes Pink For A Cause! {A Giveaway}

If little AG and I are playing a game, coloring, or doing anything where “colors” are required, she is always sure to give me the color pink. It’s because pink is my favorite color – even my 3 year old knows that. (Cue the Aerosmith song here.) I have pink luggage, more pink shirts and dresses than the law allows, pink shoes, every shade of pink nail polish known to man – I was even given the nickname “Pinky” in college because my classmates said I always had on something pink, somewhere. (It was true!)
For me, pink is always in fashion. For most people, it hits it’s fashionable peak in October, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While I think it’s great that everyone rallies to show their support during the month of October, I also think it’s important that we remember that breast cancer is something that affects women all 365 days of the year.
Including today.
Everyone has a story – some heart wrenching, some victorious, some that are still hanging precariously in the balance – about how breast cancer has personally touched their lives. It’s for that reason that I want to start the conversation early. Yes, I know it’s July and not October, but it’s always the right time to support a great cause.

You already know about my involvement with Hanes as a member of the Comfort Crew, but did you also know that Hanes is a major supporter of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®? Hanes is donating a total of $500,000 – split 50/50 between the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® Series and Passionately Pink for the Cure®. Of course, in their signature “comfortable” style – 1.5 million people who participate in the race this year will be outfitted in a Hanes 100% cotton Tagless® T-Shirt.
Hanes also has their very own “Pink” collection – which is available now on Hanes.com. I’m a huge fan of their comfy pink ankle socks (I love padding around my house in them – great to keep my feet warm on cold wooden floors!) – and sorry if this is TMI – but a HUGE fan of their No Ride Up cotton bikinis. They withstand the test of trains, planes, and automobiles without a problem – but even more-so – they withstand the test of running, jumping, and tumbling after a 3 year old!

My favorite item is the Hanes Stretch Cotton Foldover Pink Collection Pants Style 22779. The Komen cause is near and dear to me because my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 years ago and it was such a hard time for her and her family.

My favorite item of the Hanes “Pink” Collection is the Womans Pink T-shirt. I think the saying on the front”Hope Fight Cure” really hits home for me. One of my best friends got breast cancer and lived with the hope that she would be cured. She fought valiantly and got to see 4 grandchildren born. When she had gone through a second surgery and third round of chemo she decided she would do our local race for the cure. I had agreed to drive her there and volunteer with my then 10 yr old daughter. As the race date approached it became obvious she wouldn’t be able to do it. My daughter and I honored our volunteer commitment for our friend Sonja. Sonja died a month later and in her honor we have volunteered at the race for the cure for the last 10 years. We are still volunteering and still hoping for that cure.
