Think Pink During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness across the country and in San Diego. It's a month dedicated to raising awareness and funds to help more people be aware of getting mammograms and doing more to help stop breast cancer. In the past, San Diego has been the home to many fundraisers and Breast Cancer Awareness events. However, due to COVID-19, many events have been cancelled this year. This includes many runs/walks as well as ceremonies. However, others are carrying on in a virtual format. For example, the Susan G. Komen Foundation of San Diego is hosting a virtual event on November 1st. Doing it virtually is intended to keep awareness going as well as continue to raise money for this important cause.

Share information about breast cancer survival and early detection measures. Post pictures of those you know who have survived and those you have lost to remind your social circle of the importance of early detection. Donate to a charity or nonprofit that is aiding in the fight against breast cancer. Focus on those that provide the most support to those fighting this disease. Cut off some of your hair and donate to an organization that makes wigs. Help someone you know who has cancer with whatever they may need for themselves or to help care for their families while they fight cancer. Wear pink wherever you go [...]

Pink has long been the color associated with Breast Cancer Awareness Month due to its symbolizing femininity and grace.
