Show your support during Breast Cancer Awareness Month - join the fight against breast cancer and help spread awareness!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and it's time to get involved! This month-long event has been held since 1985, when the Susan G. Komen Foundation began its fight against breast cancer by launching its first Race for the Cure in Dallas, Texas. Since then, millions of people around the world have come together to raise awareness and money for research into this life-threatening disease. From participating in fundraising events to wearing pink ribbons and showing your support online, there are so many ways you can help make a difference this October. Let's join forces and show our collective strength against breast cancer!
Organize or join a fundraising event such as a walk, run, bake sale, car wash, or any other event where you can raise money for breast cancer research.
Find out what is currently happening in the world of breast cancer with seminars and lectures. These events can help you to stay informed and become better educated about the disease.
Write letters to your state and federal legislators to let them know that you support increased funding for breast cancer research, prevention, early detection and education.
Volunteering your time and energy to a local breast cancer organization is a great way to make a difference. There are plenty of opportunities for volunteer work available.
Wearing pink during the month of October will show your support for those who are fighting or are affected by breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an important reminder to people all over the world that breast cancer is a serious issue that affects both women and men. By increasing public understanding of the disease, we are better equipped to spot the signs early and get appropriate treatment if necessary.
With increased awareness comes increased donations to organizations that support research into treatments and cures for breast cancer. These donations go a long way in helping scientists find innovative ways to detect and fight the disease, which can ultimately save lives.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month not only increases knowledge about the disease but also brings together survivors, advocates and supporters around a unifying cause. This can offer individuals facing their own personal struggles comfort and strength in knowing they don't have to face it alone.
