PlatinumGoodies.com, an online retailer of wedding favors and party accessories will be donating 10% of its online profits in October, in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Susan G.

Since its inception in 1982, The Susan G. Komen for the Cure has invested over $1.5 billion for research, education and health services, making it the largest breast cancer charity in the world. This organization is recognized as the leading catalyst in the fight against breast cancer, with more than 100,000 volunteers working in a network of 125 U.S. and international affiliates. PlatinumGoodies.com is proud to be working to support this great cause.
A recent trend amongst couples is to donate the money allocated for wedding favors, to a special charity or association. The donation is in lieu of wedding favors and typically given on behalf of their guests. For those that are unfamiliar, wedding favors are small gifts given as a gesture of appreciation or gratitude to guests from the bride and groom during a wedding ceremony or a wedding reception.
I think it's very important that we give back in a meaningful way. Weddings and parties are a celebration of life and in what better way can we celebrate life by supporting these great causes. It does not matter if its five dollars or five hundred dollars, every little bit makes a difference.Vipul Mistry, PlatinumGoodies.com
