Every October we think pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign that reminds us to honor survivors and those we’ve lost, and pushes us to help fund breast cancer education and research.
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, making it the most common cancer diagnosed in women across the United States. About 1 in 800 men will be affected as well, which means breast cancer can touch anyone and their loved ones.
One way you can help fund research and help people affected by breast cancer — shop for good. During October, brands team up with nonprofits like Susan G. Komen, the Women’s Cancer Research Fund and more.
Your support can make a difference. This October, buy pink, and continue to aid the fight against breast cancer.
