The singer said the cause is close to her because she recently had a friend die of breast cancer.
"I've done a lot for animals lately, but it's time to fight for women again," said Pink, who is an active member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Pink donated $50,000 to help breast cancer research.
"It's about time we find a cure," she said. "It's terrifying. Every three minutes a woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer. ... It's really scary."
