Stay Pink: Supporting Breast Cancer Research All Year Round!
When you hear the words 'Breast Cancer’ or ‘Cancer’ in general, the word “Celebrate” isn’t usually the first to come to mind! However, the closer we get to a cure and the more we get involved, the more cause for celebration there is! For this reason, the effort to Stay Pink should radiate from deep within until the day we have a Finale Party that forever demolishes this evil beast! Until that day, Staying Pink has almost become so effortless as so many events, products and awareness constantly help raise the resources needed. In effort to highlight just a few as we wrap up the month of October, Here are some of my favorite ways we can forever Stay Pink!
