Pink ribbon campaign 2023
The pink ribbon campaign of Think Pink is held from 15 September to 31 October 2023. Wearing the pink ribbon lets others know that you are aware of the importance of getting screened, but also expresses your support for all those affected by breast cancer.
In Belgium today, 1 in 8 women are still affected by breast cancer. It is therefore important to keep preventing and fighting the most common cancer among women in our country.
Wearing a pink ribbon?
You can order one or more ribbon boxes and make your surroundings aware of the importance of screening and show your support to all people affected by breast cancer. Order a free ribbon box of 50 ribbons and sell the pink ribbons for 2 euros.
Or you can buy and wear a pink ribbon to help raise awareness about the importance of screening.
All proceeds from this campaign will be donated to healthcare projects for people affected by breast cancer.
