The point is to make a few extra people a little more aware, and then when somebody comes around the office doing a bake sale, or a run for breast cancer, etc- the guys who said "hot- LOL" on people's status might be a little more likely to buy a pink cookie, or donate $5. They see the next promotion, and say "wow- we're seeing a lot of stuff about breast cancer" and feel a little more inclined to do something.

Truthfully I am burnt out on all the pink stuff I see for breast cancer, I hate walking through a store and seeing dozens of pink items to raise money\awareness. Also when flipping through a magazine, watching a show or listening to the radio there are many ads for this run\event\party\get together\etc for breast cancer. At this point I have stopped paying attention to them. I give my support to the Canadian Cancer Society because they spread the money amongst all the different types of cancer not just one.
