BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
October 2024
Breast Cancer Awareness Month began in 1985 as a week-long awareness campaign and eventually extended to a month-long event held every October. In 1992, the pink ribbon came into play. Known best for its pink theme color, the month features a number of campaigns and programs aimed at supporting and educating people about breast cancer risk factors while stressing the importance of regular screening. National Mammography Day is observed on the third Friday of every October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.Â
Although breast cancer is much more common in women, breast cancer affects men, too. In 2021, President Joe Biden designated October 17 to October 23 as Men’s Breast Cancer Awareness Week.Â
