Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.

As well as providing a platform for breast cancer charities to raise awareness of their work and of the disease, BCAM is also a prime opportunity to remind women to be breast aware for earlier detection.

History

In 1993 Evelyn Lauder, Senior Corporate Vice President of the Estée Lauder Companies founded Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) and established the Pink Ribbon as its symbol. It is safe to say BCAM is one of the most successful health awareness campaigns the UK, and other countries, have ever seen. The pink ribbon is easily recognized as the symbol for breast awareness and the colour pink has become well established with the cause.

AstraZeneca, which manufactures breast cancer drugs Arimidex and Tamoxifen, founded the Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the year 1985. The aim of the NBCAM from the start has been to promote mammography as the most effective weapon in the fight against breast cancer.

The number of companies that engaged to breast cancer awareness increased over the years, and as of 2007 includes Estee Lauder, Avon and Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

The National Race for the Cure

In October 1983 the Race for the Cure was held for the first time in Dallas, Texas, where 800 people participated. In the year 1999 not only did the number of participants increase to 600,000, but the Race become the nation’s largest 5K series, as 99 cities in the United States organized the Race for the Cure. In the year 2005 the number of participants reached 1.4 million illustrating that the race is a big success. The National Race for the Cure Website states that the National Race for the Cure which is held annually in Washington D.C., is the world biggest 5K in the world. However, this event does not only attract volunteers, but it also attracts companies that are willing to sponsor, celebrities, and politicians, which make the event bigger every year.

The Race for the Cure is also being organized in several other parts of the World.

Pink for October is an initiative started in August of 2006, in which sites all over the world change their templates to include the color pink, in support of Breast Cancer Awareness, because October is the month of Breast Cancer Awareness.
