October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Our staff here at Gordon Boswell is thrilled to show our support for this all-important cause. The event began in 1985 as a joint effort between AstraZeneca and the American Cancer Society. The goal was to promote mammograms as the best method of early detection.

The pink ribbon first appeared in 1991. They were handed out to participants who participated in the New York City Susan G. Komen Race. The race was to support survivors of breast cancer.

Two years later, Evelyn Lauder, Senior Corporate Vice President of the Estée Lauder Corporation, a breast cancer survivor herself, and Alexandra Perry, the Editor-in-Chief of Self Magazine, co-founded the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. They appropriated the pink ribbon as their symbol. The two women decided to distrubute pin ribbons throughout New York City stores. They took advantage of the recognition and popularity of the Estée Lauder brand. That solidified the pink ribbon as the symbol for support for breast cancer awareness.
