Showing off your pink pride during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a favorite thing to do with survivors and supporters alike.

Thousands of hats, shirts, and other pink breast cancer items are sold in October. Millions of tiny pink ribbons are worn to support the cure for breast cancer and hope for many women.

Also, countless numbers of people show support of Breast Cancer Awareness by participating in fundraising events. Have you strapped on your pink running shoes for the Komen Race for the Cure? If a walk is more your speed, how about the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure? Have you joined a local support group? Joined efforts with other supporters to hold a fundraiser or night out? 

Attend the Family Skate Night at the Stoneham Arena to benefit the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer/Doreen Carrabino McNulty Scholarship Fund. The Skate Night will be held on Sunday Nov. 18 from 4 to 6 p.m. Tickets are $7 and that includes ice time, one hot dog and a drink.

In February of next year, Look What I Made will be holding a breast cancer fundraiser. Twenty percent of the sales will go to the Breast Cancer 3-Day for the Cure.

We want you to tell us your story in the comments below. How do you participate and show your pink pride in the community? 

Don't forget to print out the image of the attached Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon to show your support! Post it in the window of your home or on a community bulletin board around town.
