I've seen a story about pink items being a symbol for normal people who are standing up against bullying, and to show mass support against bullies.

Check out  "International STAND UP to Bullying Day" !!!

Probably in support of brest cancer research. Remember when the players used pink bats and arm bands on mothers day.

I read an article a while back that said that the pink backpacks were giving to them from young girls who were sick. It is a way to let the girls know that they are in their prayers and they won't be forgotten.

I guess they just want to show their feminine sides.
