October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual movement that spotlights a disease that affects more than 200,000 women a year. Early detection is not only the most important step, but when breast cancer is detected early, and is in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.
Here are few Breast Cancer charities/events in the Metro Detroit area and across the nation that can always use your support and donations!
The Pink List
The Pink List is a nonprofit organization that not only provides resources to families affected by breast cancer, but also raises awareness around breast cancer. The organization also aims to bridge the gap between breast cancer awareness and young adults through educating and empowering young adults to become proactive in preventing breast cancer. The Pink List is also hosting a Movie Night Fundraiser featuring “Halloween Kills” Oct. 20th @ The Emagine Royal Oak Theatre. The money raised during this fundraiser will be used to purchase supplies for our Pink Kits and send them to the Karmanos Cancer Institute.
