It’s October, a month when PINK is always in style…

rlee Collection is proud to sponsor PINK 4 A PURPOSE in which 25% of all exquisitely designed pink bag purchases will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation:

“The National Breast Cancer Foundation mission is to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by providing mammograms for those in need. NBCF accomplishes this mission through our initiatives, such as the National Mammography Program (NMP), Beyond the Shock educational video, My NBCF online community, and the Early Detection Plan. NBCF programs provide women help for today and hope for tomorrow.”

In addition to donating a portion of sales and the community promotional support of Breast Cancer Awareness through PINK 4 A PURPOSE, rlee Collection has joined forces with local Certified Personal Trainer, Bo Taylor. With each pink handbag purchase during the month of October, Bo Taylor will include a free 1-hour personal training session!
