Redding is selling pink hats where 100% of the proceeds go to cancer programs. They're really well made and a great gift for wives and girlfriends. My wife and I spent a lot of time in their booth at SHOT and really enjoyed discussing different reloading concepts. FYI, if anyone wants to help out.

Great idea, will these be spreading to all the major retailers?
My eldest girl loves to pinch and wear my hats around the house, I would be more than happy to get one of these for her and help the cause!

I'll contact Chris Fox and ask him for you. I think they are out of the office still trying to gear down from the show right now.

As long as it isn't tied to the Susan G. Komen breast cancer group I can get involved.

After reading about what they did to other smaller groups trying to raise money for breast cancer, they have seen their last dime from my wife and I.

If you want to see the full story, check in with the NBC website.

Re: Redding & Cancer Survivors

is it a new story or do you have to search for it? The link I provided has plenty of info.

Re: Redding & Cancer Survivors

I'll try to dig it up and post it later.

We normally contribute ball park of $100 a year to this group. And they blow 1/2 a million in frivolous lawsuits...? We're just going to give it to another group without all the high overhead.

Re: Redding & Cancer Survivors

This is only part of the story I saw. But it's the only thing I can find on it right now.

http://philanthropy.com/blogPost/Komen-Lawsuit-Points-Out/26050/

The story they did on the TV, (I may have been wrong about the network) listed through their attorney that they still had 147 active lawsuits against other charities using any of their words (race or cure) or the color pink. Personally I think their claim is corporate level BS. Several of the groups folded up and donated the money to different groups as designated by judges.

I may have noted the wrong network. But my wife thinks it's the same as I did. But we have already made up our minds about it.

The link says it goes 100% to Camp Good Days so kids with cancer can go to camp with other kids with cancer so they don't feel like the only one. http://www.campgooddays.org/ It's just a $15 pink hat, man.
