Pink Out: Breast Cancer Awareness

Friday's front page and the Sports front page will be printed on pink paper, and not a calming Post-It note pink either, but a bold pink that speaks loudly.

It may jar some readers, and that's good. The act symbolizes our commitment to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We will also feature some local information about breast cancer, including stories about both victims and survivors, some of whom you may know.

Twenty-five percent of the Friday single copy sales take and a portion of the advertising revenue on the pink pages will go to local breast cancer foundations.

Here's more information on some of the events Friday. More from Mike Fuchs at the Bargain Blog.

I think it's awesome that you are supporting breast cancer this month through advertising revenue...kudos to you!! Another way that I have found is an interesting and different way of support the cause is through investing. I have chosen to invest in breast cancer and support a treatment through breat cancer investing dot com that is currently in FDA trials with a patent pending for immunotherapy treatment, another alternative to chemotherapy. I've seen chemo a lot in my family members with cancer and close friends, I am very open to supporting less aggressive treatments!
