October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀💕 — a time to raise awareness, encourage early detection, support those affected, and remind the women in our lives to prioritize their health.
In 2026, an estimated 321,910 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and approximately 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. Regular screening is key to early detection & potentially stronger treatment outcomes, so talk with your healthcare provider about the screening schedule that’s right for you, your age & risk, and take the important steps to getting your mammogram!
Aside from screening, spreading awareness can be more than a pink ribbon. Wear your pink with pride, support local fundraisers and organizations, join a walk or race, donate when you can, and help spread the word about screening, prevention, and education. Most importantly, show up for the women in your life — your mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, coworkers, and loved ones.
This October, let’s turn awareness into action and make a commitment to be informed, proactive, and supportive for those who are currently fighting or may join the fight in the future. 💗
