Taken from curatorial worksheet: This screwdriver has been purchased for the collection to represent merchandise that is promoted to women through its association with breast cancer research. It comes in pink, and features a stylized breast cancer ribbon, an international symbol of breast cancer awareness campaign. The screwdriver is branded as “Benefiting Susan G. Ken,” a US based foundation. The Home Hardware flyer, which includes the screwdriver among other “pink ribbon” products, is marked “In support of Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.” A footnote in small print on the screwdriver states that in 2013, Sail Tools donated $100,000 to the Ken foundation and that the purchase of the product has, in fact, no impact on the amount of money donated to the cause.
