It’s October and I’m not sure if there is a bigger social media presence about Breast Cancer Awareness this year than in previous years, but for whatever reason I certainly have noticed it more. I noticed all the SuperStars and Divas of WWE wearing pink, I’ve noticed NFL football games slathered in pink from towels to wristbands and I’ve noticed corporations such as Bloomingdale’s doing what they can to bring about awareness. My mammogram is scheduled for October 24th. It isn’t fair of me to preach the importance of being screened when I don’t even do it myself. As if it were not already an important thing to do it really stands out in my mind because my mom is a Breast Cancer Survivor! She kicked Breast Cancer’s booty and it’s because of companies like Bloomingdale’s. Why? Because they sponsor campaigns like this to get it out there.
If I didn’t know better I would think the Give Pink, Get More campaign was thought of just for my mom.
