Think Pink

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 200,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. One out of eight women either has or will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. There are many ways to support breast cancer research, from wearing a pink ribbon to participating in Lee's National Denim Day on October 6, or supporting companies that give proceeds to breast cancer research.
