UFT Welfare Fund Medical Learning Series: Pink with Purpose: Turning Awareness into Action

Breast cancer has touched nearly everyone in some way. For many, it's a story of strength and survival. For others, it's a story of loss. No matter our experience, we all have the opportunity to honor those journeys by turning awareness into meaningful action. Pink with Purpose means more than wearing a ribbon - it means learning, sharing, and taking action. Hear from a Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) expert to better understand the basics of breast cancer, the importance of early detection and screening, and the ways each of us can support those impacted. Whether it's encouraging a loved one to get screened, sharing trusted information, or simply showing up for someone in need, every action matters. Together, we can turn awareness into education, compassion, and hope, helping create a healthier, more informed community.
