Big or small wear pink all.

Think pink for october

The pink ribbon is an international symbol of breast cancer awareness. Pink ribbons, and the color pink in
general, identify the wearer or promoter with the breast cancer brand and express moral support for women
with breast cancer. Pink ribbons are most commonly seen during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The pink ribbon represents fear of breast cancer, hope for the future, and the charitable goodness of people
and businesses who publicly support the breast cancer movement. It is intended to evoke solidarity with
women who currently have breast cancer.

Breast cancer organizations use the pink ribbon to associate themselves with breast cancer, to promote breast
cancer awareness, and to support fundraising.Some breast cancer-related organizations, such as Pink Ribbon
International,use the pink ribbon as their primary symbol. Susan G. Komen for the Cure uses a
stylized “running ribbon” as their logo.
Each October, hundreds, if not thousands, of products are emblazoned with pink ribbons, colored pink, or
otherwise sold with a promise of a small portion of the total cost being donated to support breast cancer
awareness or research.
This year October is coming soon, have you ready for it? and did you buy something by donating? let’s all think pink
