October: Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Brant Lake Sports Academy

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. What are you doing to spread the word?

WHAT IS IT?

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health campaign organized by major charities every October to increase awareness and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?

Take action through exercise. Cycle for Survival or Race for the Cure are just two ways to get involved.

Wear swag.  Did you notice NFL players wearing pink cleats or celebrities with their pink ribbons? You can purchase your own swag too!

Host your own fundraiser.  Whether it’s in your office, at your school or even at your own home, there are many ways to independently raise money. Host a bake sale, organize a town run, make and sell your own pink gear.

WHY?

Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women in the United States. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.

THINK PINK IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT!
