"   Photo: Ralph Lauren  There are few causes nearer to a woman&amp;#039;s heart (literally and figuratively) than the fight against breast cancer, and we applaud the number of companies and retailers out there doing their part to raise money and awareness with a dizzying array of pink ribbon products. But while there&amp;#039;s altruism in their abundance, there isn&amp;#039;t necessarily style (or necessity, does anyone really need a Pepto-pink food processor?). Of course, the best option will always be to donate directly to the charity of your choice, like Susan G. Komen for the Cure, but if you want to shop your support, we&amp;#039;ve selected six fund-raising products we&amp;#039;d buy anyway.   Photo: Coach  Coach Op Art ScarfThis rosy silk scarf would give canvas carry-all a punchy update or brighten up a khaki trench coat. Coach will donate 20% of the proceeds to the Breast Cancer Reasearch Foundation, so doing good for your outfit does good for the fight against cancer. $68, Coach. York Peppermint PattiesThey&amp;#039;re delicious, and sales of the candy benefit Young Survival Coalition, a non-profit network of breast cancer survivors and supporters. About $3.49 for an 11-ounce bag, available at grocery and drug stores nationwide. Deborah Lippmann &amp;quot;Shape of My Heart&amp;quot; PolishThis pretty, soft pink polish from fashion favorite Deborah Lippman is a subtle way to support breast cancer research with your next manicure. $16, Deborah Lippmann.   York Peppermint Patties, Deborah Lippmann Polish &amp;amp;amp; Tommy Hilfiger bag  Tommy Hilfiger Fund for Living BagPrep master Tommy Hilfiger offers this on-trend bag for fall and half of its proceeds will go toward Breast Health International. The best part about the understated tote? While we love showing our support for a great cause, there&amp;#039;s only so much pink we can handle, so the rich red of this bag is a welcome diversion. $348, Tommy Hilfiger at 681 5th Ave, NYC. Shashi Bracelets These cool little bracelets, in shades of rose and gray, are a pretty update to a friendship bracelet. All of the proceeds from their sale benefit the CFDA initiative Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. $48 for the set, available exclusively at Intermix. Ralph Lauren Pink Pony Auction and Polo ShirtRalph Lauren puts his stylish efforts towards cancer awareness year round with his Pink Pony series, and during the month of October the brand is hosting a special auction to raise money for the Pink Pony Fund\u2014100% of the proceeds will be given to the initiative. As an added bonus, if you use the code RLGIVE2010 on any purchase on the Ralph Lauren website through October 11, you&amp;#039;ll save 25% and another 10% will be donated to the Pink Pony Fund. If that&amp;#039;s not the perfect excuse to stock up on fall, we don&amp;#039;t know what is. Pink Pony polos from $65, Ralph Lauren (hunky polo player not included); Pink Pony Auction, CharityBuzz.
