Did you know that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime? Most believe that early detection is the key to surviving it. That is how breast cancer awareness got its start. True Patriot Flag Company discusses the definition and reasoning behind breast cancer awareness and the
pink ribbon symbol.
National Breast Cancer Awareness (NBCAM) month was started in 1985 by the American Cancer Society. The aim of the NBCAM from the start has been to promote mammography as the most effective weapon in the fight against breast cancer.
In 1995, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation was created and they adopted the pink ribbon as their symbol. The pink ribbon and all things pink have become the international symbol of support for cancer victims and education alike. It is seen throughout the year now, not just in October.
The pink ribbon represents fear of breast cancer, hope for the future, and the charitable goodness of people and businesses who publicly support the breast cancer movement. It is intended to evoke solidarity with women who currently have breast cancer.
Breast cancer organizations use the pink ribbon to associate themselves with breast cancer, to promote breast cancer awareness, and to support fundraising.
True Patriot Flag Company has taken breast cancer awareness one step further. They have beautifully integrated it into the American Flag! This shows support for all women in America.
