Spread the Word on Breast Cancer Awareness Month

It's been a while since we checked in with our fantastic community. Rest assured, we are already hard at work on The Pink Event 2017.  But this quick post isn't about that. 

It's about ladies like Laura Snyder, who are excited to be alive another year after the harrowing experience of dealing with breast cancer. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's a time when women need to take stock of their physical health (by doing self breast exams and getting mammograms). We also need to celebrate our survivors and those going through this disease.

Our efforts aren't in vain. And we, as an awesome community, can help make a difference. 

See What This NFL Player Did to Combat Breast Cancer

If you watch NFL football, you'll notice the League goes to great lengths to support October as Breast Cancer Awareness month.

But one player with the Pittsburgh Steelers took it a step further. According to The Root, DeAngelo Williams recently lost his mother to breast cancer. To honor his mother, Williams is paying for 53 mammograms through his charity, the DeAngelo Williams Foundation. 

Here at The Pink Event, we love spotlighting these incredible acts of charities because we care about women's issues. In fact, breast cancer has been a signature issue The Pink Event has highlighted since our first women-focused expo. 
Next year for for The Pink Event^® 2016, we will team up with breast cancer charity For 3 Sisters, Inc., and domestic violence organization House of Ruth Maryland, Inc., as our event's official charity partners. Learn more about that here.
