As you all know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, also dubbed ‘Pinktober’. It’s a time when brands, consumers, and survivors alike raise awareness about breast cancer, how to detect early signs, and raise funds for charities, cancer patients, or families who have lost their loved ones to the disease.
Below, we highlight the initiatives that brands across the GCC are putting in motion during this month, and how they’re playing a part in helping. You can join in too 🎀💖.
