Breast Cancer Awareness day is celebrated on every fourth Monday of October. This day is used to celebrate the recovery of many patients who have survived this serious illness and to spread awareness among others to be able to eventually find a cure. There are many ways in which this day can be celebrated. A few of the common ones are:
- Wearing a pink breast cancer awareness ribbon on your lapel.
- Make arrangements with your employer to let your co-workers wear jeans on this day and in return, collect a $5 donation from each employee towards Breast Cancer research.
- Hang a breast cancer awareness wreath on your front door and also take one for your office.
- Host a dinner during which you can collect donations for breast cancer research. You can also ask the guests to each bring a dish instead of hiring expensive caterers, thus saving on your costs.
- Include news papers. Ask one to do a write up on breast cancer or write an information bearing letter on breast cancer to an editor.
