Pink umbrellas will be available for purchase at the event for $25. Past participants are invited to bring pink umbrellas from previous Human Pink Ribbon events and participate for $15.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur annual Human Pink Ribbon event is a reminder that breast cancer awareness is important year-round, not just in October,\u201d said Janet Darnell, executive director of Partners for Breast Cancer Care. \u201cThis display of camaraderie during National Cancer Prevention Month gives our supporters a chance to come together and fight for what matters: making sure underserved individuals in our community have a chance at a fulfilling life, cancer-free.\u201d<\/p>\n
