Community Invited to Help Lawrence, NJ High School Students Fight Breast Cancer
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. You may have already started to see pink ribbons, hearts, signs...pink everything...popping up wherever you look. It's a heart-warming sight.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
The purpose of this month is to raise awareness for breast cancer, encourage women to make appointments to get a mammogram, support women affected by breast cancer (current patients and survivors), and raise money for important research so we can wipe breast cancer out once and for all.
If you're looking to help make a difference this month, but aren't really sure how to, I've got a great idea for you.
