Show Your Breast Cancer Awareness Month Support in Style

By | October 3, 2014

Every October, we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It seems like everyone has a close relative, a friend, or a friend of a friend that has had breast cancer. In fact, about 1 out of every 8 women will develop a form of it in their life, and while the number is much lower in men, it is still a possibility.

For this reason, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) was created in 1985 in association with the American Cancer Society to raise awareness for and increase fundraising for breast cancer.

Because awareness is so crucial to increasing funds for breast cancer organizations and causes, you’ve no doubt seen the pink bumper stickers, shirts, ribbons, etc. Shortly after October was denoted as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the color pink was used as an identifier for ribbons to indicate awareness for breast cancer.

At Socks4Life, we have a number of pink/pink ribbon socks so you can show your support for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A portion of every purchase of a sock in our pink ribbon section is donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The NBCF is one of the foremost recognized breast cancer foundations in the world, earning a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, as opposed to the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s 3-star rating.

Take a look a some of our pink ribbon socks and show your support in style.
