Douglas Flora: Kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month is always one of my favorite times of the year

“Kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month is always one of my favorite times of the year. It’s filled with powerful events focused on raising awareness, improving lives, and bringing hope to those who need it most.

Our 30 Cincinnati Men Wear Pink ambassadors will be hosting events, wearing pink, raising funds, and—most importantly—having lifesaving conversations to help end breast cancer for everyone. If you can, please support their efforts along the way!

This week, the American Cancer Society released Breast Cancer Facts & Figures 2024, showing that breast cancer mortality rates have dropped by an incredible 44% since 1989. But not everyone has benefited equally from this progress, and there’s still more work to be done to close those gaps. With your support, we’ll keep pushing forward so this life-saving progress reaches everyone who needs it.”
