Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Outfit

During the entire month of October, hundreds of events, will take place all over the world to help increase awareness and end the fight against Breast Cancer. 

Prepare to attend a few, or create your own event and make sure to wear the ubiquitous color Pink.  Grab a cool cap or hat for leisure days, when not at the office or while shopping bring along a pink bag, making sure your outfit includes the "pink ribbon" emblazoned on it. 

Keep in mind that many will wear the color Pink, which may or may not include the "official pink ribbon", but are doing so simply to support Breast Cancer Awareness in general.

This is okay, if you explain why you're dressed up in pink, and then, only if somewhat asks.  This is why you should look for products that have the Pink Ribbon emblem on them, they require no explanation as most already know what the symbol means, if they don't, it's a perfect opportunity for you to help increase awareness. 

From shoes to hats and accessories, there is something for everyone, men ties and shirts to spice up your wardrobe while embracing a great cause for women and men with Breast Cancer.
Pair a Pink with Blue Jeans for cool casual, or Pink dangling earrings for evening parties coupled with pink peach heels.

The pink ribbon is an international symbol worn to increase breast cancer awareness, became very popular during the "New York Race for Survivors"  in 1991 where the Susan G. Komen Foundation distributed pink ribbons to racers.

[ The following year the Pink ribbon became the official symbol of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month after Eveyln Lauder (Estee Lauder fame) and Alexandra Penny created ribbons for stores in New York City.

Since men get breast cancer too, the color blue was added to a pink ribbon by the John W. Nick Foundation in 1996. 

The pink ribbon also represents hope for the future, support for the breast cancer movement and to promote unison with women who currently have breast cancer. ]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_ribbon 

Many organizations donate a portion of proceeds to Breast Cancer Awareness charities, including Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Breast Cancer Charities of America, Breast Cancer Research Foundation, National Breast Cancer Coalition and more.

These are helping to saves lives through breast cancer early detection, providing access to free and low-cost mammograms to increase awareness through online support groups.
