Fall is officially in full swing! So when it comes to your shopping habits at the moment, it’s safe to say you’re most likely browsing the internet for a non-basic Halloween costume or another pumpkin-scented candle that you don’t need.

Whatever you order — whether it’s a new nighttime serum or an everyday tote bag that’ll never go out of style — won’t just be an item with pretty pink graphics or packaging. Your funds will contribute to a campaign that tirelessly invests in educational programs, building more support groups and allowing opportunities for early detection screenings, to name a few.
No matter how small, every philanthropic effort makes a great difference. “One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, which is why it remains so crucial to fund lifesaving research and educate women on the importance of prevention and early detection,” said Elizabeth Hurley, who continues to serve as the Global Ambassador of The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign.
