October is officially “Breast Cancer Awareness” month and marked by the wearing of pink either in ribbon form or other pink clothing as seen at many sporting events and other public venues showing support for breast cancer awareness.
Locally our hospital in San Andreas and the Mark Twain Dignity Foundation sponsor a “Pink in the Night” event to further the breast cancer awareness effort.
This year’s event was held at the Terrace and brought out over 100 people showing their support. I was glad to see a larger crowd this year than last year and have no doubt the event will grow as we all know someone who has been affected by this serious health issue.
