What is Breast Cancer Awareness Month?

Just as a refresher, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a yearly campaign designed to highlight this invasive disease, which affects nearly 1 in 8 women in the United States, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). Second only to skin cancer, breast cancer is one of the most common cancers to impact women in this country; one woman is diagnosed with the disease every two minutes. Additionally, about 2,600 men in the U.S. are diagnosed with breast cancer every year, per the CDC.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a great reminder to get screened for this potentially fatal disease and raise awareness for the cause until there's a cure. If you're interested in volunteering or donating funds, choose from one of these amazing organizations.

In the meantime, you can support the cause by sporting the breast cancer apparel ahead. Wear your pink pride this month and beyond with the picks below:
