Think Pink!
In recent years, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) has grown so large that even professional football players are now sporting pink during their Sunday games throughout October. In fact, the NFL has partnered with the American Cancer Society on a campaign called A Crucial Catch, which focuses on the importance of breast cancer screenings. With all this pink popularity in the media, have you ever wondered where the pink ribbon came from? Check out the history of NBCAM, as well as resources for support for patients.
