Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer affecting women in the US today. Approximately 13% (one in eight) American women will develop some form of invasive breast cancer throughout the course of their lives, with early diagnosis playing a significant role in the health outcomes that follow.
While research is advancing and new treatments are giving patients hope, the fight against breast cancer is something no one should go through alone. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is held in October of every year, and marks the perfect time to join the fight against this widespread and destructive disease. If you or someone you love needs extra support in the fight against breast cancer or wants to raise funds for future research, these creative breast cancer fundraiser ideas can make a meaningful difference.
