Honor National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Flowers From Bussey’s Florist

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a month to focus on awareness and support for breast cancer. It involves informing more about early detection, the importance of mammograms, how to treat breast cancer, and how to provide positive support. This is also a time to focus on fundraising to help accelerate breast cancer research and treatment. The month of October is also an opportune time to show love and support to those you know that are fighting breast cancer or have even recovered. Every year, there are many local events to participate in. However, 2020 is a little bit different with many of these going virtual. There is also an opportunity for you to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month in other ways: Use your social media accounts and profiles to draw attention to this month with stickers, frames, photos, and posts about those you know fighting it now and those you know who may have recovered. Or, maybe you may even post about someone who lost their battle to remind others of the importance of supporting this cause. Volunteer for a breast cancer organization or event. Support charities that nonprofits that provide support to breast cancer patients, such as those that make wigs, provide free mammograms, or that help in other ways. Participate in a virtual or physical run or walk event to raise [...]
