Breast Cancer Alliance (BCA) is proud to host
GO FOR PINK, a festive day of shopping and events dedicated
to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Scheduled on October 1st in
the Town of Greenwich, GO FOR PINK brings the community
together to raise critical funds to support BCA’s goal of
eradicating breast cancer. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is
the perfect time to acknowledge and applaud the progress
already made and recognize all that remains to be
accomplished. Proceeds from the day will further BCA’s mission
to improve survival rates and quality of life for those
impacted by breast cancer through better prevention, early
detection, treatment and cure. To promote these goals, the
organization invests in innovative research, breast surgery
fellowships, regional education, dignified support and
screening for the underserved. Last year’s inaugural GO FOR
PINK partners helped fund $1.6 million in grants for 2015.
