There is an auction going on and i was thinking about making a breast cancer tote bag. It would have the ribbon on it, but the money I get from it won't be going to beast cancer, it'll go to my organization for school. Is that legal? Would I get in trouble for that? Also, would it be illegal to do the same with a college mascot?

Technically not illegal if you don't say it's going to breast cancer research--but very, very bad form.

im sure youl be fine wither its illegal or not.

I doubt the breast cancer charity would give you any trouble (if anything, it helps them), but it would be dishonest and fraudulent for you to give the buyer the impression that they are supporting the breast cancer charity when that isn't where the money is going. Added: Using the college mascot would be copyright infringement.

Yes it's illegal - If you use the ribbon it would be under the assumption to the buyer that proceeds would be going to the organization that the logo is used for. You could be sued by the company that owns the ribbon/logo
