Isabelle Helping the Children, Charity of the Day

Isabelle Fields was inspired by the story of a little girl named Alex from Philadelphia who successfully raised a staggering 6 million dollars for cancer research through sales from her lemonade stand! Isabelle vowed to do the same, she began making scented soaps and candles, sales took off instantly... and every penny goes straight to cancer research programs and children's hospitals. Her cause is getting quite a bit of press, I first heard about her products in Us Magazine. Check out this little girls charming products, prices range from $14-$24, and help her realize her dream of helping others! Isabellehelpingthechildren.com

Rolls Royce Auction For Cancer Cure


Richard J. Solove, real-estate developer and collector of Rolls Royce cars (among other things), is well known for his part in the foundation and generous support of the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and the race to find a cure for cancer. And at 82 years old his giving spirit is stronger than ever as he plans to auction off 13 of the 14 Rolls Royce cars in his collection, with the proceeds going to fund cancer research through the James hospital and its affiliates.

Solove says that he has intended for his Rolls Royce collection to go to the hospital for years, and thought that now was the time while he was still able to enjoy the satisfaction of the contribution. He's quoted as saying "I strive to see a cure for cancer much more than I love my cars."

The auction will take place in August of this year in Pebble Beach, CA, and is expected to raise $15 million dollars or more.

Pink Tractor for Charity

Breast Cancer Awareness month is over, but AGCO Corporation/ paired up with NBC's "Deal or No Deal" to make one last minute charitable effort, raising money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. They are auctioning off a special edition pink Massey Ferguson tractor - a departure, to say the least, from items that are more conventionally auctioned for charity. It is autographed by host Howie Mandel and has an MSRP of about $35,000. The auction began on October 31st and will run through November 11.

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.

10 years ago today Lance Armstrong was diagnosed with cancer. Texas jewelry company Kendra Scott Design is commemorating the event with a limited edition gold version of the famous yellow Livestrong wristband. Kendra Scott's version comes in either 18K white or yellow gold engraved with the Livestrong slogan with a yellow diamond set in the "O." The men's version is a cuff design and the women's band is an oval-shaped bangle with a clasp. Both versions have the Lance Armstrong Foundation slogan "Unity is Strength" inscribed on the inside. There will be 10,296 of the bracelets produced and each one comes with a custom designed black obsidian display base with glass cover.

Think Pink Jewelry Portfolio

During September and October, Red Envelope is donating 10% of the proceeds from their new pink-themed collection to the Entertainment Industry Foundation's Women's Cancer Research Fund, which makes the Think Pink Jewelry Portfolio and even more appealing piece.

The slim jewelry case measures 6.5" x 3/4" x 11" when closed, but folds out to reveal a spacious compartment for organizing all your accessories, from rings to necklaces.
