Thousands of women are affected by breast cancer every day, personally or through a loved one. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and countless businesses and organizations join efforts to raise funds and awareness for the cause. Although the statistics can be overwhelming, you can help by taking part in one or many of the give-back events in your local community!
DALLAS
