Wear it Pink
What is wear it pink?
Breast Cancer Now’s wear it pink day is one of the biggest fundraising events in the UK. Taking place during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, thousands of amazing people wear it pink in their communities, schools or work places for the UK’s largest breast cancer charity, Breast Cancer Now.
We’re on a mission to make sure that by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer lives, and is supported to live well. By wearing it pink, you can help us achieve this goal.
Why do we wear it pink for breast cancer?
Every year, thousands of people wear pink for breast cancer to spread awareness of the disease. We wear pink to show support for people affected by breast cancer and to raise funds for life-saving research and life-changing support.
There are lots of ways to get involved. You can wear it pink at work, at school, with your community, anywhere you like. Join the amazing community of people wearing it pink and supporting Breast Cancer Now on 24 October.
