Pink is the color for Breast Cancer awareness month. Promotions and campaigns will be taking place all over the United States for this most worthy cause.
Business of all sizes will be using Pink promotional products from table covers, banners, eurofit display walls for their booths and outside events.
Cater to any audience using promotional products and customized giveaways to help increase awareness and support the cause.
A couple of quick facts (we have more detailed statistics toward the end of this post)
NBCAM the acronym for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month will hit home for a many Americans and their families.
Estimates show that approx 200,000 women in the USA and 1,700 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer each year.
Yes you did read that right breast cancer does not only affect women, guys you are at risk as well, did you know that?
Unfortunately BC will claim over 40,000 of those women’s lives and 450 of men’s.
As with nearly all types of cancer, there is no known cause or cure. That’s why research awareness and early detection are so vitally important.
It is also the reason that bringing this to everyone’s attention is also of paramount importance.
Families of victims, research foundations, charities, business, politicians, clinics, doctors offices, hospitals will all support this noble cause to help raise awareness and funding.

Breast Cancer ribbons and bracelets are the classics for NBCAM
One of the most traditional and widely used items. Is the well known Pink ribbon or embossed bracelets.
People can and will wear them everyday during the month of October.

Printed material has a long shelf life and will be seen by many people.
How about branding some popular clothing for your event
Branded Hats, hoodies and T-Shirts have become increasingly popular breast cancer awareness sale items and giveaways depending on your corporate budget.
They are often worn at team charity events like Relay for Life or fight for the Cure. these also will have longevity and continue to promote long after the event.
Use a name or logo, in addition many companies, hospitals, clinics and organizations will add a catch phrase or saying to these items to both personalize and draw attention to the cause.
What promotional giveaways can we get in pink?
- Key chains are very popular giveaways.
- USB sticks are still a popular freebie.
- Swag bags filled with smaller items.
- Pens Pencils and erasers.

To be honest we could go on and on, but by now we trust you are getting some great ideas. 😉
Not sure where to sell or give away your awareness items, start small. Think of your office or school. Is there an educational seminar or wellness program that these products could be distributed at? If not, why not create one?
When should we start ordering our products?
The months leading up to breast cancer awareness events are the perfect time to start getting your orders in to your distributor and thinking about getting your message out.
Start with advertising the event you’re hosting or sponsoring, get people excited about showing their support.
Ordering in August for delivery in time
August is the perfect time to get a head start on breast cancer awareness. Order your products early so that you have plenty of time to promote NBCAM even before the fundraising events begin.
Another creative way to drive the message home is to send thank you gifts to participants and donors after the event. Show your appreciation for their generous donation of time and/or money with breast cancer awareness giveaways they can use as keepsakes.

2019 Breast Cancer Statistics USA
After researching this we wanted to include some statistics as I for one was blown away bu how far reaching this disease is.
As I sat and thought about it nearly everyone I know is on some way directly or 2 nd 3rd or 4th degree connected to this. Lets all do our part to raise awareness this year.

- About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
- In 2019, an estimated 268,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 62,930 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.
- About 2,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men in 2019. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 883.
- Breast cancer incidence rates in the U.S. began decreasing in the year 2000, after increasing for the previous two decades. They dropped by 7% from 2002 to 2003 alone.
- One theory is that this decrease was partially due to the reduced use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) by women after the results of a large study called the Women’s Health Initiative were published in 2002. These results suggested a connection between HRT and increased breast cancer risk.
- About 41,760 women in the U.S. are expected to die in 2019 from breast cancer, though death rates have been decreasing since 1989. Women under 50 have experienced larger decreases. These decreases are thought to be the result of treatment advances, earlier detection through screening, and increased awareness.
- For women in the U.S., breast cancer death rates are higher than those for any other cancer, besides lung cancer.
- Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women. In 2019, it’s estimated that about 30% of newly diagnosed cancers in women will be breast cancers.
- In women under 45, breast cancer is more common in African-American women than white women. Overall, African-American women are more likely to die of breast cancer. For Asian, Hispanic, and Native-American women, the risk of developing and dying from breast cancer is lower.
- As of January 2019, there are more than 3.1 million women with a history of breast cancer in the U.S. This includes women currently being treated and women who have finished treatment.
- A woman’s risk of breast cancer nearly doubles if she has a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Less than 15% of women who get breast cancer have a family member diagnosed with it.
- The most significant risk factors for breast cancer are gender (being a woman) and age (growing older).
