October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month


October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and support for those affected by breast cancer. The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) plays a pivotal role in providing help and inspiring hope through early detection, education, and support services.

There are several impactful ways to support the cause this October:


  1. Donate: Your financial support enables NBCF to provide free mammograms, HOPE Kits, and educational resources to women in need.

  2. Shop with Purpose: Look for products featuring the NBCF logo or pink ribbon. A portion of proceeds from these items supports NBCF's mission.

  3. Fundraise: Organize events or campaigns to raise funds and awareness. NBCF offers resources to help you get started.

  4. Spread Awareness: Share information about breast cancer and early detection on social media to educate others.

  5. Volunteer: Contribute your time and skills to support NBCF's initiatives and events.

NBCF offers a variety of free educational guides to empower individuals with knowledge about breast health:
