Cocktails for a Cause – Breast Cancer Awareness Month

While traditionally the month of October is synonymous with oranges, reds, and yellows, you may have noticed an unlikely addition to the Autumn hues being sported by all your favorite people. From police officers to NFL athletes, it seems as though everyone is wearing pink this for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Awareness is the First Step

Also referred to as Pinktober, the entirety of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And with one out of every eight women being affected by this serious disease, it’s a biggie. By bringing awareness to the forefront, cancer charities all over the world hope to give folks the opportunity to detect cancer early, raise money for research, and spread valuable information and support to those who need it the most. 

Don’t Hate, Donate

There are lots of ways to get involved and be an ally for the cause this month. It’s as easy as wearing pink! You can even take it one step further and post a selfie in your pink getup using the hashtags #breastcancerawareness or #pinktober. And, of course, donate donate donate! A monetary donation to any of the many charities involved in Breast Cancer Awareness Month is always welcome, but blood and hair donations are needed as well. 

Eat, Drink, and be an Ally
