There’s always a mad rush of retailers to promote pink ribbons for the month of October. Every year I see more and more of my favorite products sporting a pink ribbon… but only for 30 days. Now that the month is over and we’re heading into the holiday shopping season, where are the retailers’ focus? Holiday shopping of course. Pink ribbons are replaced with red bows and green stockings.
However, the support continues, as it should.
Some of the recent headlines…

More than 100 runners and walkers were at the starting line for Sunday’s Marian J. Wettrick Pink Ribbon 5K Walk/Run in Coudersport. The event raised money and awareness in the battle against breast cancer. Coudersport social studies teacher John Sherry was the overall champion with a time of 19:11. Topping the women’s division was Dawn Bieser (21:55).
Good to see the support outlives the promotions - the disease continues on, so should we!
