Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 1 @ 12:00 am - October 31 @ 11:30 pm UTC-5

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and like many such observances, military bases at home and overseas play host to a variety of events, activities, and awareness campaigns to fight breast cancer. From the installation hospital to The Pentagon Channel, there are many programs, messages, and fundraisers to help fund a cure and support those affected by this disease.

 

Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP)

Obviously, medical research is one of the most important aspects in the fight against breast cancer, and the DoD is actively involved in this research to the tune of $120 million in congressional appropriations for fiscal year 2017 alone. BCRP actively solicits research that, according to the official site “…will address the urgency of ending breast cancer” and that will “facilitate productive collaborations.”
