Goodwill brick-and-mortar stores have been a charitable
organization for a long time, and in recent years, re-branding
themselves as less of a donation center, and more of a quality
thrift shopping experience. With a mixture of both donated and
gently used items, also had attracted a number of retailers and
wholesalers donating new merchandise that had gone unsold in stores
like LL Bean and Macys, among others. These retailers also got a
beneficial tax break while helping the Goodwill organization raise
money for a variety of causes.
Now,
GoodwillToo.com ![]()
is
an online store for savvy shoppers looking for some steals and
deals, primarily offering new merchandise, but you may find a
special one-of-a-kind item donated to the stores as well.
Goodwill Too ![]()
has
this to say about the online shopping experience:
Goodwill Too is an online Goodwill store with a difference. Where
the traditional Goodwill store offers mostly donated goods,
Goodwill Too offers its customers mostly brand new merchandise
(often closeouts and other similar purchases, keeping costs
down), with a scattering of gently used merchandise. Our
merchandise is categorized and we have a category called "Gently
Used Merchandise" where the majority of our donated items are
kept. We also mark our donated items "-Donated-" so customers can
distinguish these items from the brand new merchandise.Goodwill
Too, at present, offers flat-fee
shipping on its orders, with standard shipping costing
only $7.99 for any order
weighing up to 150 lbs (actual or dimensional weight). We only
ship to U.S. destinations, however, including Alaska, Hawaii, and
the U.S. territories, and we only accept U.S. currency in
payment. At this time, all purchases are processed through
PayPal. One does not have to have a PayPal account to make a
purchase.
For Breast Cancer Awareness specific products, I've found three
items currently on the
Goodwill Too![]()
site:


$8.99
Donation information: A portion of the proceeds from the sale of
this item will be donated to Breast Cancer Research and the Cancer
Wellness Center committed to enhancing the quality of life for
those affected by breast cancer.


$8.99
Donation information: A portion of the proceeds from the sale of
this item will be donated to Breast Cancer Research and the Cancer
Wellness Center committed to enhancing the quality of life for
those affected by breast cancer.


$11.99
Donation information: $1 from the sale of this product goes to The
Breast Cancer Research Foundation, dedicated to preventing breast
cancer and finding a cure in our lifetime by funding clinical and
genetic research worldwide.

So I didn't really post anything in December because I spent some
time traveling, and spending lots of time with family and friends
this holiday season. One of those trips included a visit with my
dad (battling cancer) - I'm happy to report he's doing very well,
and hoping to go home soon, as he's just over halfway done with his
radiation treatment.
One of my personal new year's resolutions is to post more on this
blog every month to help raise money for cancer research
foundations. While breast cancer awareness and research will
continue to be my primary focus, I may post more often about other
cancer fundraising programs and research organizations.

It seems as though this holiday season is inspiring shoppers to
shop for the cause yet again, as pink ribbon products and awareness
items that donate to breast cancer research continue to be popular
since the 2008 Breast Cancer Awareness Month ended. Let the holiday
spirit of giving begin!
Now, just in time for the holiday shopping season, you can save
big, score some killer electronics and tech gadgets for the geeks
you love, while supporting the Susan G. Komen Foundation and
shopping for a good cause.
As Black Friday is typically a self-serving day for retailers to
try and make as much money as possible, one retail group has
decided to paint Black Friday pink. CompUSA and TigerDirect,
leading retailers of consumer electronics and technology
products, are branding November 28 as “Pink Friday” for the
second year in a row and expect to raise more than $250,000 from
a portion of total sales and from customer donations to Susan G.
Komen for the Cure, the world’s largest breast cancer
organization.
In addition to a minimum guaranteed donation from CompUSA and
TigerDirect, customers can get involved in the following
ways:
Customers will have the opportunity to donate $1, $5, $10 or $20
on top of their in-store or on-site purchase to Komen for the
Cure.
A live webcast will be available on www.CompUSA.com and
www.TigerDirect.com from 8:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. in which limited
quantities of products will be sold at 50 percent off their list
price, with the full proceeds of the sale products going directly
to Komen.

Then, set yourself a reminder to shop online at one of these stores
between 8 AM & 5 PM on Friday, November 28th.
No word yet on specific products offered in the promotion, but
there should be plenty to choose from, as both online stores have a
huge selection of computer accessories, digital cameras, MP3
players, video game consoles and popular video games like Guitar
Hero, digital picture frames and more.

The month of October has just flown by, and like many others, you
may be wanting it to be over already, because you're sick of the
barrage of pink products. Understandable. The month of October now
kind of reminds me of the saying we have for March (in like a..out
like a) - October's slogan about pink ribbon products may go
something like this: "In like an avalanche, out like a flurry".
As I said two weeks ago,
interest in breast cancer awareness month seems
to drop off about halfway through, and 2008 also appears to be
following that trend. But there's still a little bit of time to
think pink in 2008.
So consider this your last minute reminder that you only have one
day left to buy any pink ribbon products from companies that use
October 31st as the cut off for their donations to Susan G. Komen,
the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) and the Breast Cancer
Research Foundation (BCRF), among other smaller charities and
programs that raise money for the cure and breast cancer
awareness.
Keep in mind that select companies may keep donation periods open
longer - often until the end of the year. Look through the list of
October 2008's Breast Cancer Awareness Products
to find companies which have a longer donation period, and find out
which products you must purchase by the end of October. Both
eBags and
GUESS are two examples of companies which donate
for an extended period of time.
As always, this site will continue to feature pink products,
celebrity breast cancer news and fundraiser events throughout the
year as they happen.
