The pink ribbon symbolizes the fight against breast cancer.
Breast cancer affects millions of people each year. While most victims of the disease are women, some men also are affected. Breast cancer research is essential for prevention and treatment, and donations keep this type of research alive. Several organizations exist that will accept donations to help save lives and prevent the spread of the disease.
