Girlfriend power: Fun ways to support the breast cancer awareness cause with the gals

Flowers

I don't know a woman who doesn't like receiving flowers, do you? This October, try thinking outside the box a bit with your girlfriends. Send a beautiful bouquet of flowers to a friend battling breast cancer, a survivor, a family member or even a random stranger.

Here's an idea: Look up a local breast cancer clinic and pool your money to donate a few bouquets. The flowers are sure to brighten the patients' day! One to try? Teleflora's Pink Hope and Courage Bouquet . For the month of October, the company is donating 15 percent of the suggested retail price to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation!

Walk the walk

It's quite a simple idea, but joining in on a breast cancer awareness walk is a great way to support the cause with your girls, and get fit at the same time. Look one up online in your area, grab a cute pink ensemble and some stylish sneaks -- try these adorable Ecco Biom Trainers from The Walking Company . Five percent of the purchase will be donated to City of Hope!
