Think BEYOND Pink This Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Get the facts on breast cancer this Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) and learn what you can do to "Think BEYOND Pink" for those who are living with and at risk for breast cancer in your life!

This BCAM, we would like to extend our many thanks to Congressman Jared Golden, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree and Senator Angus S. King, Jr. for thinking BEYOND pink and cosponsoring H.R. 2178 and S. 1374 - the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act - a bipartisan bill to waive Medicare and SSDI waiting periods for women and men with metastatic breast cancer.

This important legislation goes a long way to ensure that women and men living with metastatic breast cancer have access to the support and medical care they need. The ongoing support of local, state and national breast cancer advocacy efforts by Maine's congressional delegation is greatly appreciated - during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and beyond!

A Sweet Way to Support MBCC in October!

For the second consecutive year, through the month of October, the Bangor Chick-fil-A Restaurant will donate $1.00 to MBCC's Support Service Fund from every 6-count of chocolate chunk cookies sold in the restaurant. Many thanks to the folks at the Bangor Chick-fil-A Restaurant and their customers!

Have a Maine Breast Cancer License Plate on your car? You might get “Pink’d” during the month of October!

Registering your vehicle with a pink ribbon plate only costs an extra $15 above the standard annual renewal fee, and 100% of the proceeds stay right here in the state of Maine to benefit breast cancer initiatives of the Maine Breast Cancer Coalition, the Maine Cancer Foundation and the Maine CDC Breast and Cervical Health Programs!

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Maine Breast Cancer Coalition volunteers around the state of Maine will be keeping an eye out for all of our pink-plated supporters. If we spot one, a “You’ve Been Pink’d” card will be left behind for the vehicle’s driver. On the card, the recipient will be told how to go online to register their “Pink’d” card for a free entry into a special breast cancer awareness raffle drawing to be held on November 5, 2019!

If you have received a “You’ve Been Pink’d” card on your vehicle, please submit your drawing entry here.
