October is breast cancer awareness month, and it’s very important to me. Having both my grandmothers survive breast cancer, I have routine check ups, since I am more apt to have it.

I love pink ribbons and awareness products, I got to review a little pink ribbon pen.

Zebra’s clip on Breast Cancer awareness Pen

The Zebra Pen Eco line now supports City of Hope, a world-renowned medical research and treatment organization. Through its “Care for A Cure” program, the company has created a custom Clip-On™ Pink Ribbon pen, ideal for anyone and perfect for medical professionals. This eco-friendly item is a retractable, two-color fine point pen and, through October 2009, Zebra Pen will donate 25 cents from the sale of each Clip-on Pink Ribbon Pen (ARV $3.99) to City of Hope for breast cancer research, treatment and education up to $25,000. This initiative kicks-off in conjunction with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

“Our ‘Care for a Cure’ program is something that is near and dear to all of us here at Zebra Pen and City of Hope is an organization we’re thrilled to be working with,” said Director of Marketing Chris Farley. “We’re confident that the success of the Pink Ribbon Pen over the next year will result in a substantial donation to City of Hope – that’s our goal.” Features of the pen include: black & red ink in one; auto-retract button; soft rubber grip; 0.7mm fine point; pink ribbon that clips to pockets, backpacks, notebooks, purses, etc.; made from recycled materials, 75% post consumer waste.

***I love this pen, it’s become my only writing utensil. it’s so cute and easy to use. The red color pen is more pink than red, but that makes it better seeing how it is a breast cancer awareness pen.
