About Wear It Pink | Breast Cancer Now

Wear It Pink – On 24 October, wear pink, raise money, and help make life-changing breast cancer research and vital support happen.

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.
