Look at all the pink ribbon breast cancer awareness products my sister Kay and her daughter Mandy found at Wal*Mart in Ohio . . .
This practice of using traditional commercial marketing to sell products and address a social issue at the same time is becoming more common, and I love it.
For-profit companies advertise for and contribute a percentage of sales to a nonprofit organization. The company makes sales and generates positive publicity, and the nonprofit raises awareness and gets contributions.
Everybody wins--the company, the consumer, and the cause.
