Little Pink Toolkit
Clearly, the way to make a tool kit more appealing to women is to turn it in to a fashion accessory - and if it happens to tie in with Breast Cancer Awareness month, so much the better. The Little Pink Tool Kit certainly is pretty in pink. The 10-piece general purpose set, where all the ergonomic tools come with matching pink handles, is packed up in a pink tote bag that can be carried about while making any small repairs without looking much different from an ordinary handbag. The site notes that a portion of the proceeds from each sale go towards breast cancer research, although it does not say what portion or how much will be donated. Price: $80.

FYI:
Regarding the donation amount, according to a company statement:
"We donate 3% of the price of each tool kit to various organizations. We have made donations to Susan G. Komen Foundation-–Lowcountry Affiliate, Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama, and Strang Cancer Prevention Center. We have also donated tool kits to various organizations for fundraisers. We like to donate to local affiliates instead of the national so that we know where the money is going."
Feel free to update the blog entry with the details.
