The month of October brings Breast Cancer Awareness which is all about empowering women through early detection and support. Breast cancer is a serious health concern that affects millions of women worldwide. To combat this disease, it is crucial to raise awareness about the importance of early detection. Breast cancer awareness is about celebrating the strength and resilience of survivors and providing a network of resources for education, emotional support, and financial assistance for everyone. 

Throughout the month, numerous organizations and communities come together to spread awareness, share stories of hope, and raise funds for research and support services. By participating in events, sharing information, and wearing pink ribbons and wearing pink on Wednesdays, students can show their solidarity and commitment to fighting breast cancer.

Fernanda Perez (12) said, “We wear pink on Wednesdays to honor all those who have fought, are currently fighting, or are yet to fight against breast cancer. I think it is such a good way for our school to show support and let those in and outside of our community know the amount of support surrounding them.”

The color pink has become symbolic of the fight against breast cancer, representing hope, strength, and solidarity. Wearing pink helps raise awareness and shows support for those affected by the disease. 

Vanessa Leal (12) said, “We wear pink on Wednesdays for breast cancer to show support and awareness for the survivors. I believe it’s a good thing to support the ones who went and are still going through difficult times and fighting through it.”

Remember to wear pink this month to show your support.
