what is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and how can I help?
Over 20 years ago, a group of organizations, medical associations, and government agencies came together, combining their resources and knowledge to “build breast cancer awareness, share information and provide access to screening services.” Well, in the last 20 years, we have all become much more conscious of the importance of early detection. Everyone recognizes the pink ribbon that is a symbol of breast cancer awareness, and many of us have been personally touched by the disease. The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) organization works year-round to provide information and services, and has a list of ways you can help promote NBCAM, become a program leader, take initiatives at your workplace, get media attention, and more on their website at www.nbcam.org. There are many ways you can get involved in Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
