From 1-800-FLOWERS, this pink bouquet of fresh roses comes with a beautiful Lenox pin. Even after the roses are gone, the pin can continue to serve as a reminder to all women to get screened. A portion of the proceeds will go to Breastcancer.org for Breast Cancer Education.
This is a bouquet of fresh deep pink roses. 10% of the proceeds go to the Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Foundation at the Stony Brook University Medical Center in Long Island.
The roses come as a standalone bouquet, or with a clear vase or a special pink vase.
