Real Men Wear Pink program adds to effort

Prominent male community and business leaders from across New Hampshire have joined the American Cancer Society in the fight to end breast cancer through participation in the Real Men Wear Pink campaign.

Real Men Wear Pink participants from across the state have committed to raising funds to support the mission of the American Cancer Society and wearing pink every day this October to increase breast cancer awareness. Funds raised by these candidates will help the Society save lives through early detection, prevention, innovative breast cancer research, and patient support.

According to the American Cancer Society Cancer Facts & Figures 2020, an estimated 279,100 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and an estimated 42,690 will die from the disease this year. In New Hampshire, approximately 1,350 women will be diagnosed and 170 will die from the disease in 2020 alone. Men get breast cancer too. In 2020, 2,620 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and unfortunately 520 will succumb to the disease.

New Hampshire residents are encouraged to join Real Men Wear Pink and help raise funds and awareness this October. For more information, visit realmenwearpinkacs.org.
