This year marks the 20th anniversary of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Throughout the month of October 2004, individuals and healthcare professionals across the nation will recognize National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the cause, which was founded for the purpose of educating women about breast cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment.
In 1993, President Bill Clinton declared the third Friday of October as National Mammography Day, which falls on October 15 this year.
Throughout the month of October, and on October 15, health care facilities across America will provide discounted or free screening mammograms in support of early detection.
In recognition of the fight against breast cancer, businesses and individuals join forces with breast cancer organizations to earn money to support research that is critical to finding a cure.
Jo Ann McGowan, an independent consultant for Affordable Luxuries has recently teamed with the National Breast Cancer Foundation in an effort to make a difference.
"Following the devastating death of my aunt to breast cancer, I knew that I wanted to do something in conjunction with my business that would make a difference," shares Jo Ann.
As an independent representative for Affordable Luxuries, the world's premier direct seller of high-quality candles and accessories, Jo Ann has pledged to donate 25% from every purchase from a special selection of Candles for the Cause to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
All candles purchased from the fundraising event will represent a significant contribution to promoting the cause of breast cancer awareness by paying for mammograms for those in need and funding research that one day may result in finding a cure!To learn more about how you can support the National Breast Cancer Foundation through purchasing Candles for the Cause, visit Jo Ann's Web site at http://www.affordable-candles.com ? look for the pink ribbon.
Remember, every 12 minutes a woman in America dies of breast cancer.
