We're looking for men in the Greater DC/Baltimore area to fight breast cancer with the American Cancer Society's nationwide movement called Real Men Wear Pink. Wear pink during October and join other men in their communities across the U.S. who are determined to raise awareness and money to support the American Cancer Society's mission and save more lives than ever before from breast cancer. This year, approximately 284,200 women and men will be newly diagnosed with breast cancer.
