October is more than just the beginning of fall—it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when communities come together to raise awareness, honor those affected, and support ongoing research and treatment efforts. For businesses looking to make a meaningful impact, promotional products can play a vital role in amplifying the cause while showing solidarity with those affected by breast cancer.
We have several recommendations if you choose to highlight Breast Cancer Awareness Month at your organization:
But beyond the pink ribbons and branded merchandise, it's important to remember the real lives impacted by this disease. In Ohio, where PridePromo calls home, several incredible organizations are making a difference every day, and if possible, we encourage everyone to support these organizations.
Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio
The BCFO is dedicated to funding research, providing education, and offering support to breast cancer patients across Ohio. Their work ensures that patients receive the care and resources they need, even in challenging times. To learn more or get involved, visit their website.
Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research
Named in honor of Stefanie Spielman, who courageously battled breast cancer, this fund supports groundbreaking research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. The goal is simple but powerful: to find a cure. Discover more about their research efforts on their website.
JD Breast Cancer Foundation
Based in Northeast Ohio, the JD Breast Cancer Foundation provides emergency financial assistance to individuals undergoing breast cancer treatment. Their support can make all the difference for patients struggling to cover basic needs during treatment. You can support their mission by visiting their website.
While promotional products can help spread awareness and raise funds, they also serve as a reminder of the importance of community support. Whether it's a pink wristband, a custom tumbler, or a pink drawstring bag, each item carries a message of hope and resilience.
As we move through October, let’s remember that the fight against breast cancer is a collective effort. By supporting these organizations and spreading awareness, we can make a real difference in the lives of those affected by this disease.
