(US) Donation to the American Breast Cancer Research Foundation
Since 2014, Bosley has donated money to the American Breast Cancer Foundation. In 2015, they revised the program to increase employees' motivation by changing the donation scheme, from a fixed amount to the amount based on sales in October, the Pink Ribbon month. Various activities are also organized to raise employee awareness during the program, such as decorating the office in pink and posting the amount of money being raised on computers. To date, the company has donated over $250,000 to the foundation.

The theme is to spread gratitude to others rather than giving back the kindness they received.
