Susan G. Komen for the Cure®

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

As September draws to a close and we approach the month dedicated to our cause, we look at our calendars, take a deep breath and give thanks! Every meeting, speaking engagement or event, represents an awareness or fundraising opportunity, all geared towards connecting the dots where breast cancer is concerned. Both play a vital role in the services we are able to provide here in Central Florida. Every call we receive from a person or business with an idea and a desire to help us further our mission, inspires us. We draw inspiration from the calls from those in our community who need access to care and who understand that we are here to serve them. It is with this understanding that we herald in Breast Cancer Awareness Month with motivation and excitement, ready for all that comes with it!
