Every October businesses and charities use the color pink to increase awareness about breast cancer and to promote raising funds to research a cure for the disease.
LPES has joined the cause and urges the public to do the same.

Since 2005, Medline has committed more than $1.2 million to the NBCF to help fund mammograms fo individuals who cannot afford them, as well as for educational and prevention resources.
