Ever bought an item of clothing or jewelry in support of a charity (such as Breast Cancer, AIDS, Heart Disease, etc.), myself I do all the time, most for Breast Cancer, but I try to buy things that the proceeds of what I purchase go to a good cause, what about you?

Oh yes, of course. I have to pretend to be compassionate sometimes, alright? :P But only if the item is nice. Otherwise I would just donate the money without taking anything.

The first time I bought something in aid of some homes, I discovered the truth. 30% of the proceeds go to the organisation organising the charity drive. That is the last time I buy any thing in aid of any charity. I now donate directly to the charity instead.

I always buy the Avon yearly item of cancer support. This year it was a little notepad and pencil. Iam always giving a dollar to buy something you sign your name to and they but it in the window. They are for different charities. You are not given anything but the money goes to whatever charity it is for.

Yes, I have. I have bought quite a few things. One of my favorite org. is for the Lyme disease association. You would not believe how many people out there who have this disease and not know it, but show all of these horrible illnesses.

I purchase things all the time to benefit charity. One of my favorite charities is the Susan G Komen Foundation. You can shop here to support it http://www.komen.org/marketplace/ I am going to get the new promise rings and Cure the Beanie Baby.
