Show Us Your Pink Pride in Chicago

Showing off your pink pride during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a favorite thing to do with survivors and supporters alike.

Thousands of hats, shirts, and other pink breast cancer items are sold in October. Millions of tiny pink ribbons are worn to support the cure for breast cancer and hope for many women.

Also, countless numbers of people show support of Breast Cancer Awareness by participating in fundraising events. Have you strapped on your pink running shoes for the Komen Race for the Cure? If a walk is more your speed, how about the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure? Have you joined a local support group? Joined efforts with other supporters to hold a fundraiser or night out? 

Thousands of people came out Oct. 20 to support breast cancer awareness during the American Cancer Society's Making Strides for Breast Cancer 5K at Montrose Harbor, according to ABC 7 Chicago.

Through the end of the month, foodies can dine out for a good cause by eating at one of more than 100 Chicago restaurants that have agreed to accept donations for breast cancer research on behalf of the Lynn Sage Foundation. Participating restaurants include Socca, Old Town Pour House and all 20 Francesca's locations around Chicago.

We want you to tell us your story in the comments below. How do you participate and show your pink pride in the community? 

Don't forget to print out the image of the attached Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon to show your support! Post it in the window of your home or on a community bulletin board around town.
